Serve Up Some Hope: Join the Pickleball 500 at Elston Park in Support of Dubbo Pink Angels!

Get ready to hit the courts for a cause that touches hearts right across the Central West!



The Dubbo Pickleball Centre is thrilled to announce our biggest community event yet: Pickleball 500—a marathon weekend of non-stop pickleball action designed to raise vital funds for the incredible team at Dubbo Pink Angels.


Whether you’re a total beginner who has never picked up a paddle, a seasoned local player, or someone looking to support a fantastic cause, we invite you to join us at Elston Park (corner of Bultje and Fitzroy Street) for an unforgettable 3-day event!

📅 Event Overview & Key Details

When: Friday 16th, Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th October.


Where: Dubbo Pickleball Centre, Elston Park Courts, Dubbo NSW.


The Goal: 500 x 15-Minute Games of non-stop pickleball across 10 courts!


Entry Fee: $5 per person per 15-minute game (Teams of 4 players).


Skill Level: All skill levels welcome! From first-time players to experienced regulars—everyone can get involved.


Dress Code: Wear Pink! Deck yourself out in pink clothing, tutus, or accessories to show your support on the court!

💖 Why We Are Rallying for Dubbo Pink Angels

100% of all player proceeds raised during the Pickleball 500 will go directly to Pink Angels Inc.


For years, the Dubbo Pink Angels have provided practical, compassionate care and support to local breast cancer patients and their families throughout Dubbo and the surrounding regional areas. From fuel and grocery vouchers to medical costs, travel support, and specialized care packs delivered during treatment, Pink Angels ensures no one in our community faces a breast cancer diagnosis alone.



By coming out for just one 15-minute game (or playing a few!), you’ll be making a direct impact on the lives of those in our community affected by breast cancer.
