Pickleball started on Bainbridge Island in the 60's and has grown into a thriving sport today. Here's a list of local groups that have taken the extra step to get organized, as well as a map of local pickleball courts:
Marysville Pickleball ClubA group of more than 150 pickleball players who play at Cedar Crest Middle School and Marysville Middle School.
They have readily available balls and nets furnished and stored by the club for your use, including loaner paddles. They have eleven outdoor courts and three covered courts which are also lighted in evening hours. Membership is required to use the covered courts.
