Established 2022
The Woodland Area Pickleball Association (WAPA) has been created to provide a fun, healthy, recreational activity for its membership and community members while promoting exercise, the development of skills and the enjoyment of Pickleball. WAPA was created in 2022 by invested founders who knew what the sport of pickleball would bring to Woodland as a community. WAPA has grown in the last two years; managing new pickleball resource projects with the city of Woodland, educational opportunities for youth within the school district, offering free of charge lessons for new players and has ample loaner gear for people to give it a try with no strings attached.
