On September 21, 2025, one of the most exciting and significant pickleball events took place in Washington D.C. The National Mall of Pickleball held its third annual celebration at a new, central location on 12th Street Northwest, right outside the Smithsonian Metro Station. This free, three-day event from September 19 to 21 featured an expanded footprint with 11 temporary pickleball courts, drawing large crowds to play, watch, and participate in pickleball clinics and lessons.
The event themed "Moves That Serve" celebrated pickleball’s inclusive and accessible nature, highlighting the sense of community the sport fosters across all ages and skill levels. Visitors enjoyed not only plenty of-play opportunities but also the inspiring view of iconic landmarks such as the Washington Monument and the United States Capitol while engaging with the fastest-growing sport in America. This gathering underscored pickleball’s rapid rise from a backyard pastime invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, to a widely embraced sport with dedicated events on national stages.
This year’s National Mall of Pickleball also featured opportunities to spectate from the stands, making it an entertaining venue for both players and fans. Courts and clinics were available for reservations starting September 10, but walk-on play was also open, allowing spontaneous participation. The event’s growing popularity mirrors the explosive expansion of pickleball in the United States, as the sport continually gains momentum.
Additionally, September 21 marks the anniversary of Heritage Pickle-ball’s launch in 2023, a brand dedicated to honoring pickleball’s rich roots while pushing the sport forward with stylish apparel, paddles, and accessories. Heritage Pickle-ball commemorates the legacy of pickleball’s invention and continues to contribute to the vibrant culture surrounding the game today.
At the same time, just a few days prior, Major League Pickleball was making history by hosting its first professional event in New York City, marking a milestone for the sport’s professional competition scene. With major investments and growing TV coverage, pickleball in 2025 showcases a fascinating mix of grassroots enthusiasm and high-profile professional action.
