Revitalizing Public Pickleball Courts
At Rain City Paddle Co., we believe pickleball is more than just a sport—it’s a way to bring people together, build community, and promote an active lifestyle. That’s why we created Serve & Support, an initiative dedicated to restoring and revitalizing public park pickleball courts in need of some love.
Why Serve & Support?
Public pickleball courts are the heartbeat of the sport, providing free and accessible places for everyone—whether you’re a beginner, a weekend warrior, or a seasoned competitor. But many of these courts are cracked, faded, or falling apart due to years of wear and lack of funding.
At the same time, membership-only clubs and paid-access courts are on the rise, limiting access for many players. We believe pickleball should remain open to all, no matter their financial situation. Serve & Support is here to help restore public courts so that the game stays inclusive, fun, and available to everyone.
How It Works:
Every time you buy a Rain City Paddle Co. paddle, a portion of the proceeds goes directly toward improving public courts. These funds help with:
Resurfacing courts to fix cracks and worn-down areas
Repainting lines for better visibility and precision
Replacing nets & damaged equipment
Improving safety & accessibility for all players
By choosing Rain City, you're not just getting top-tier gear—you’re helping keep pickleball courts safe, playable, and open to all.
One Court, One Year: Making a Lasting Impact
To maximize our impact, we focus our efforts on one public court each year, ensuring it receives the full funding and attention it needs. The court is selected based on community nominations and its level of need.
