WELCOME MEMBERS!

Greetings LHCPBA Members!
I am excited for the 2025-2026 season of Pickleball in Lake Havasu City and, on behalf of the full time local players, would like to welcome back our Snowbird players as they start arriving in the Fall! Our current Membership has almost 500 players so far in 2025, including over 100 new members. Here's some of the things the Lake Havasu City Pickleball Association has planned or completed so far this year.
1. ARK Center Lighting Project
Last June 2025, we upgraded all the indoor lighting at the ARK Center thanks to some generous donors. The results were amazing improving pickleball play for everyone! There is a plaque inside thanking the donors especially Arlo Cox who did all the ordering and installations.
2. Lighting on Four Courts
Outdoor lighting at the Mike Delaney Pickleball Complex at Dick Samp Park was complete in March 2025 on courts one - four.
3. PickleFest Annual Tournament
Our biggest fund raising event each year is our annual tournament. This last tournament in February, PickleFest 2025, was a huge success and we had over 266 registered players. Now we look forward to PickleFest 2026 scheduled for 2/27/26 - 3/1/26 (non-sanctioned). Registration for the tournament will be on pickleballtournaments.com and go "live" on 10/23/25.
4. DSP Upper Parking Lot Paving
The upper parking lot was finally paved in early 2025.
5. Custom Brick Fundraising
Phase 3 Custom Bricks were installed in October 2025 at the Mike Delaney Pickleball Complex at Dick Samp Park by court six.
6. Association Member Only Activities
We are offering Association sponsored Member activities again this year such as weekly Round Robins by skill level, Sign up with a Partner Round Robin, Mini Singles play, novice/intermediate clinics, etc. We expect these activities to start up in December.

See you on the courts!
