Each two-player set contains two pickleball paddles, four balls and information on basic game rules and where to play in Clallam County.

Pickleball is a sport for all ages that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. Invented on Bainbridge Island in 1965, pickleball has quickly grown in popularity.

There are several places to play pickleball in Clallam County. Jack Olmsted donated the pickleball sets.
