Support GLP
Free to play, because players chip in
No dues, no sponsors, no staff. Everything GLP provides is funded by optional player donations — here's where the money goes.
Donate via Venmo
$1–$3 a session keeps the lights on
That's the suggested (always optional) donation each time you play — open play or beginner sessions. Every dollar goes to courts, balls, and equipment.
Where It Goes
What your donation buys
Court reservations
Reserving courts with Seattle Parks and Recreation for open play — weekday evenings and weekend mornings, late March through early October.
Pickleballs
A steady supply of outdoor balls for open play and Beginner Welcome Courts, replaced as they crack and wear through the season.
Nets & maintenance gear
Portable nets, brooms, leaf blowers, garbage cans, and tape-removal tools — the unglamorous equipment that keeps eight courts playable.
Beginner programs
Loaner paddles and supplies for Beginner Welcome Courts, so anyone can try pickleball with zero upfront cost.
Donations and expenses are tracked by GLP's volunteer organizers. Prefer to give time instead of money? Volunteer as a court ambassador — it's every bit as valuable.
Thanks for keeping Green Lake free.
Every ball, net, and reserved court hour comes from players like you. See you at the lake.
