Duluth Area Pickleball Association

The mission of the Duluth Area Pickleball Association (DAPA) is to promote the growth and development of pickleball for all ages and abilities. DAPA provides events, tournaments, and play opportunities in the Duluth area. We represent our pickleball community when working with cities, townships, and other organizations to grow pickleball opportunities. DAPA's efforts and DAPA member donations were instrumental in building the first and only four dedicated pickleball courts in the Duluth area at the Wheeler Athletic Complex. With your help, we can continue to provide tournament opportunities, court maintenance, social play, and community and local government engagement. 

In 2025, we worked with the city of Duluth to paint acrylic surfacing on the courts at Wheeler. The new coating preserves the long-term life of the tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. Please donate to support and promote more pickleball events, venues, and court maintenance!
