We have taken many strides to make the sport of Pickleball available in Owatonna and our surrounding communities. It’s a family friendly sport that can be played by the young and the old alike. You may see Grandparents playing with their Grandchildren or children playing with their parents, and all are having a great time. It’s a fun way to stay active. We embrace all levels of play. Our outdoor courts are situated on a beautiful setting at Morehouse Park. Our indoor facility which is open from mid October to mid May is located at the Owatonna Christian Family Church (it’s by Cabela’s) If you have never played Pickleball but would like to give it a try, please come and join us, we would love to see you on the courts.

The Owatonna Pickleball Association has worked very diligently to bring the sport of pickleball to our community and surrounding communities. Through the years we have set short term goals and long term goals for our association. Short term goals include ways to appeal to younger members, have 12 Board of Directors and reach 200 members. Our long term goal has always been to have our very own dedicated pickleball building and reach 400 members.
