BC Fall Festival 2025
Burke Centre's Festival was on September 6 & 7, 2025. As a Chartered group, BCPA had a Booth to promote pickleball and our Association as we have done for the last several years. We had many volunteers to staff our Booth and fulfill our Charter's responsibility. A big thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this year's Festival a success in spite of the rain.

2025 Pickleball Rules
The USA Pickleall rules for 2025 have now been published. Look on our Rules page under the How to... tab for details.
Pickleball Court Conversion
The BCC Board of Trustees has approved the conversion of three Tennis courts at the Landings into eight permanent Pickleball courts, and selected a contractor to perform the conversion. News on the start date is expected shortly and will be announced by email to the membership. Your continued patience is appreciated. The next (and hopefully final) Trustees vote regarding safety fencing between back-to-back courts will be at their next meeting.
Equipment Lockers/Gate Key
The combinations of the lockers at both the Woods and Landings were changed in Feb 2024. The new combinations will be given only to court-key-holding BCPA members in good standing. Please support your fellow BCPA members by making sure that our equipment is only used by dues-paying members of BCPA and continuing to make sure all equipment is properly stored and secured at the end of each session.
All the court entry gates were re-keyed on 10 Jul 2024. If you have not yet obtained a new court key, you can do so at the Conservancy Office during regular business hours. They cost $25/key. They have a key request form available at the office or use this fillable form.
Playtime Scheduler
BCPA is encouraging all members in good standing, annual and seasonal, to register for a free account with Playtime Scheduler and use it consistently. We are using this online app so member players can see who and how many are playing, and whether a keyholder is going to be at a playing session. You can download instructions for registering as well as a help manual. Those who are already using the Scheduler are very pleased with it.
TennisCall
A confirmed reservation of the courts can only be made using the TennisCall App. Only Burke Centre residents may do so. Download the BURKE CENTRE CONSERVANCY TENNIS & PICKLEBALL RESERVATION POLICY for an explanation of how the system works.
Membership:
At this time, we’ve suspended membership to non-Burke Centre residents, however, seasonal passes are available for purchase by non-residents.
