Johnson Lake Playground

Let’s Add Two Pickleball Courts to Johnson Lake Playground!

Johnson Lake Playground has become a place where families, friends, and neighbors come together for fun and fresh air. As our community grows, so does our wish to make this amazing spot even better. That’s why, on this Giving Day, we’re asking for your help to bring not one, but two new pickleball courts to our beautiful playground!

So, Why Pickleball?

Pickleball is catching on everywhere because it’s easy to learn, super fun, and just about anyone can play—kids, adults, grandparents, newbies, you name it. It’s a mix of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, and all you need is a paddle and a smile.

• Everyone’s Welcome: No fancy gear or long learning curve—just show up and play, no matter your age or experience.
• Meet New People: The game is all about teamwork and good times, so you’re bound to make new friends on the court.
• Get Moving: Pickleball is great exercise, but it’s also easy on the joints. It keeps you active and sharp without being too hard on your body.
• It’s Booming: Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports out there. Let’s make sure our playground is part of the action!

How Will This Help Our Community?

• More to Do: New courts mean more reasons to come out and play, whether you’re a sports fan or just looking for some fun in the sun.
• Fun for All Ages: Pickleball crosses generations, so grandparents, parents, and kids can all get in on the fun together.
• Bring People Together: We’ll be able to host tournaments, group lessons, and casual games that get everyone involved.
• Easy for Everyone: We’ll make sure the courts are ADA-friendly and easy to get to, so nobody gets left out.
• Support Local Business: More visitors mean more business for shops and cafes nearby, keeping our neighborhood thriving.

How Can You Help?

We’re hoping to raise $120,000 to make this dream a reality. That covers everything: the building of the courts, sturdy nets and fencing, benches, landscaping, and signs to thank all our amazing supporters. Every single donation helps us get closer. If you can, please chip in—any amount makes a difference!

Easy Ways to Give

• Give in Someone’s Memory or Honor: Donate for a friend, loved one, or anyone who loves pickleball or the playground.

Let’s Do This—Together!
