This event will kick-off at 10am so Picklers can bask in the glory of six available courts at PMS. The Piedmont Rec. Dept. (PRD) is graciously providing beverages and snacks. There will be a raffle and be sure to take one of the new Piedmont Pickleball Decals.
There will be lessons for beginners and all levels of play are welcome to join the fun.

There are tables, benches and shade trees. Additionally: Food: Directions: PMS is located at 742 Magnolia Ave, Piedmont. You can park on Magnolia or surrounding streets.
Getting There
There is construction on Saturdays so parking right in front can be problematic. The badminton courts are down the hill behind the school; take the steps down to the right of the gym. Alternately there is a parking lot off El Cerrito Ave leading to Witter Field and you can walk up; this lot is likely full on weekends. Use Google Maps.
More Info
Water Fountains: Right before the 2nd set of steps is a water fountain/bottle station. There is a 2nd water fountain below at court level. Restrooms: There are restrooms going back up PE Hill behind the first court to the left by the Waste Bins.
