Emerald Valley Pickleball Foundation:
Expanding Opportunities to Play
The Emerald Valley Pickleball Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2021 to advance the sport of pickleball in Lane County by increasing access to facilities and educational programs.
We are currently focused on raising funds for a new state-of-the-art Regional Pickleball Complex at Lane Community College (LCC). The complex will be jointly funded by public and private funds, and the Foundation is lead on raising funds for the facility. We envision a complex with 24 courts, of which 2 will be "championship courts" and 10 will be covered. This new complex will greatly expand the opportunities for pickleball play in the region, and it will have enough courts to meet the needs for drop-in play, leagues, clinics, lessons, and tournaments.
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of fun, food, and community spirit.
