Welcome to SMPA
More Courts, More Play
What can SMPA do for you?
Seattle Metro Pickleball Association (SMPA) is your voice in speaking up to city and county parks departments to ask for pickleball courts, request pickleball lines, nets, equipment, more court time indoors and out, and to promote the development of dedicated pickleball facilities.
SMPA is why Green Lake pickleball courts exist, a de facto hub serving a community of 50+ players every weekend. SMPA’s voice is how Seattle Metro tennis courts at public parks and schools became lined for pickleball and how semi-permanent pickleball nets began appearing at those courts at Rainier Beach, Alki, Miller, Gilman, Dearborn, Bitter Lake, Solstice and SWAC in West Seattle.
SMPA directors have a tradition of passion to grow the sport, engage with government and communities to develop the sport, promote and sponsor play, and build more pickleball courts. When we speak, the cities listen.
