Dodie L. By Osteo Dave I had not met Dodie L. (pronounced Dough’-dee) until I interviewed him for this profile, even though we both regularly play pickleball at Centennial Park. He and his wife, Chris, play at the crack of dawn and leave before I arrive – well after dawn has fully cracked and the early birds have gone home to breakfast on worms. Chris introduced him to pickleball over a year ago and Dodie immediately found it as fun and addictive as the rest of us. Dodi

Randy W. By Lori L. Have you ever met someone whose life story is so captivating that hours pass like minutes? I most definitely have. His name is Randy W. ,and to say he has lived an interesting life would be a gross understatement. After playing two rounds of nine-hole golf with him—paired with hours of engaging conversation and countless iced teas (him) and Diet Cokes (me)—I realized I was listening to one of the most incredible life stories I’ve ever heard. Most of you ha

We had a sweet time celebrating our March & April birthdays at PRPC! 🎉 A huge thank-you to our wonderfully generous (and seriously talented) bakers, Nancy M and Nancy P, who treated us all to some delicious homemade goodies — and yes, they were as amazing as they sound! 🍰 Our ever-dedicated (and clearly hard-working 😉) Board Treasurer, Bryan C., couldn’t resist striking a pose by the treat table, joined by a few of our fabulous birthday stars.

JACKIE R. By Janice VB Jackie R’s life began in the countryside in southern England shortly after WWII ended. Of course she didn't experience the war, but did recall that food was rationed for most of her young childhood. When the war broke out her father was a student at Cambridge University but left after one year to enlist in the army and fought on the front lines in France and Germany, becoming a colonel by the age of 24. Her mom served in the WRNS (Women’s Royal Naval S

We had a very GREEN time on St. Patrick's Day. Paso Robles Pickleball Club style does the day right. Everyone was in the Irish Spirit!! At one point there were 45 of us green dinkers. Thanks everyone for coming out to play.

Scott E. Writer’s note: As our club begins a new feature on our website to highlight members of PRPC, I was delighted that I was chosen to write about Scott E. Scott was one of the first people that I met when I started playing pickleball in 2025 and has always been kind and ready to give advice if I ask for it. Scott is one of the really good people in our club and it was also a pleasure to talk with him and get to know him even better as I prepared this article. *********

Seven new courts, a parking lot, restrooms, a picnic area with large BBQ pits are all nearing completion. Entry to the parking lot will be off Scott St. across from the Veteran's Memorial Building. As of now more hardscape is being finished and the parking lot is in need of paving. The courts themselves need nets and other details to make them useable. Landscaping will be added as will a shade structure. The Paso Robles Pickleball Club intends to transfer its daily activities

The 2025 officers for the pickleball club have been very active in planning special activities for the year, monitoring the construction of the new courts and planning for a transition to the seven courts, and general management of play to offer members and the public a great pickleball experience. At a December meeting the board and many club members turned out to celebrate over ten years of play. Most officers are returning for 2026.

It has finally started. After years of lobbying the city, seven new courts on Scott Street in Sherwood Park have broken ground and our Pickleball Club was there to be part of it. The courts will include benched, fencing, a parking lot, and a restroom. Expected to be operational in 2025.
