BELLINGHAM PARK COURT GUIDELINES

All guidelines were set in collaboration between BPC & Bellingham Parks and Rec Department.

  • Please be considerate. When others are waiting for a court, play rotate off after one game. Then, stack your paddle to rotate back in. 
  • Use the Paddle Rack to specify waiting order.
  • Minimize passage through occupied courts.  Check that it is okay to pass AND keep distance from others.
  • Players may bring a net to set up on multi-use courts.
  • Check the BPC Website for programs to join.
  • All relevant local and state guidelines apply.
