About this venue
Vashon Park District's official site (indexed content; direct fetch returned 403) confirms free drop-in indoor pickleball sessions in the Chautauqua Elementary School (CES) gymnasium, run by the Park District; paddles/balls available to borrow. Note: Vashon Parks Foundation states there are no dedicated, permanently-lined outdoor public pickleball courts on the island yet (planned at Burton Adventure Recreation Center); this CES gym program is the confirmed current option, not a dedicated 'The Mesa' or Vashon Island High School facility (neither could be confirmed from a primary source).
