Lake Havasu City Pickleball Association was formed in 2015 by its first President, David Rossing.  The Mission of the Association is to promote the development and growth of Pickleball in the Lake Havasu City area.  To that end, the Association Board of Directors were successful in partnering with the City to get the first four dedicated outdoor pickleball courts built at Dick Samp Memorial Park (DSP) in 2017.  Subsequent to the opening of the four new courts, there was a three year effort to raise $100K which was achieved year end 2019 and given to the City as our shared commitment to build an additional four courts.  The City was so impressed with our contribution they stepped up and added additional funding to build eight new courts (for a total of 12 to date) which were completed in May 2021.  In December 2021, an Anonymous donor sent the City $250K to build the final four courts at DSP thus completing the 16 court pickleball complex as designed in the Master Plan.  Expected completion of construction is December 2022.
