Environmental and community stewardship
Just as we are passionate about the game of pickleball, we are passionate about protecting our precious Island resources and fostering love and positivity in the community.
The Salty Paddle’s outdoor courts are covered by the largest private solar array on the island, generating more power than the facility uses each year.
Our water cycle is carefully designed to sustainably draw from and recharge the pristine bedrock aquifer.
The building itself, as well as our appliances, fixtures, and finishes have been chosen with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind.
We host kid camps, offer scholarships, and are excited to collaborate with our Island non-profit partners to give back to the community and ensure everyone feels welcome!
