FAQs

YES! Boy, do we ever.

There is a lock box at Lincoln Park and Pine Ridge courts. Please deposit any found items in the lock box. 

Large items that don’t fit into the box, like an umbrella or camp chair, are usually taken home by a WSPC member for safe-keeping and an email goes out to members looking for its owner.

If you lost an item, check the lock box. If you don’t know the lock-box combination, check out the next question in the FAQ or contact us here.

Once a month, unclaimed items are donated to Goodwill.

The official pickleball rulebook is published by the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) and International Federation of Pickleball (IFP). The USAPA and IFP are the governing bodies of American and international pickleball that formulate and interpret all the rules of the sport. The rulebook is a living document. New rules are added each year and old rules are frequently amended.
