We’re still searching for the Ultimate Pickleball Duo! The National Mall of Pickleball returns to America’s Front Yard this Fall, and for the first time, we’re searching for pairs of picklers from different generations who share a love of pickleball and have made a meaningful intergenerational connection both on and off the court. It’s the Ultimate Pickleball Duo! Pickleball is helping America bring back these important generational connections, and we’re giving you the chance to bring your pairing to D.C. to play on our country’s most vaunted court—in the center of the National Mall! Tell us why you and your pickleball partner are the ultimate intergenerational duo for a chance to play on Center Court at the 2024 National Mall of Pickleball. Winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the National Mall of Pickleball in September 2024 and a chance to be crowned the Ultimate Duo.

Did you know that in 2013, the Trust for the National Mall teamed up with the National Park Service and John Deere to rebuild the great green lawn that makes up America’s Front Yard? This project improved drainage, created a sustainable irrigation system and used new, durable and drought tolerant turf varieties – the same ones used by the NFL. Now, even on the hottest days of summer, the grass panels on the National Mall are a welcoming green space for a picnic, reading a good book or turning a cartwheel!
