About the Club and Mitchell Park (Palo Alto, CA) Mitchell Park provides one of the most active pickleball scenes on the Peninsula, with 15 courts offering drop-in play seven days a week. Mitchell Park is also the home of the Palo Alto Pickleball Club. The PAPC provides members with Getting Started sessions, clinics for all skill levels, round robin tournaments, DUPR-specific games and generally tries to foster a friendly environment for all players. The club also promotes the sport locally by supporting other local clubs and providing equipment and clinics to local schools and businesses. Club members also arrange social activities at the courts, and have created active Facebook and Discord groups for players to organize games and stay in touch. Because the courts at Mitchell Park are often busy, the club has worked with the City of Palo Alto to create some basic court rules that are posted on signs at each court entrance. Please read and abide by the rules. Membership To become a PAPC member, please download the application form below and read the instructions for Palo Alto residents and non-residents.
