OUR
STORY
Petaluma Fairgrounds Pickleball (PFP) is a community-based nonprofit working in partnership with the City of Petaluma to bring more community courts to Petaluma. Through this partnership, we have created covered pickleball courts at the Fairgrounds in the Bianchi Barn. Our goal is to revitalize this public space and create an inclusive, year-round facility where people of all ages and skill levels can gather, play, and connect.
As one of the fastest growing sports in America, pickleball offers a fun, healthy, and accessible activity that builds community. We're proud to lead this effort to bring more community access to the fairgrounds and foster local pride through play.
