BPC Open Play at Cornwall Memorial Park*
Our Outdoor Play has finished for the season. Check back in the spring for information about our next season.
Procedures for Open Play during the season.
How It Works:
Players stack paddles in a designated area to indicate order of play and rotate off after each game.
A BPC court host may be available at Cornwall Memorial Park to answer questions. (They typically wear a red vest.)
Note: BPC-sponsored Open Play is canceled if it’s raining or courts are wet.
Come out, get some court time, and connect with your fellow BPC members!
Recreational Pickleball Etiquette
- After every game, rotate off the court so that waiting players have an opportunity to play.
- Be courteous and respectful.
- Refrain from offering uninvited coaching.
- Before crossing a court in play, wait for the rally to end and get the attention of players.
- Loudly call “Ball on” to alert the players if a ball enters your court, or a neighboring court.
- Reviewing the “BPC Skill-Level Self-Assessment Rating Scale” to help you identify your current level.
Any play outside of these hours must follow the City of Bellingham rules posted on-site.
Please note: BPC does not host Open Play at other courts in the city—such as those at WCC, Cordata Park, and others. Players using those courts must follow the posted site-specific rules.ur
