CROSS POSTED!
Let's go play at Cypress College!
We have been trying to check this court out for a while and for a good reason,it supposedly has 8 courts (But the photos shows 16 courts...) BYO courts, meaning we can potentially play freely. Currently, we have 3 nets to use. If you have a net to bring, please bring it so that we can setup more courts for our use!
The lines are permanent, but you'll need to bring your own net. The courts are free. Players have access to lights.
So, bring your paddle and enjoy some PB plays with us!
Parking: If you are going to park in the college parking, you will likely have to pay for the parking. Optionally, you can park in the surrounding area, but with some walking distance.

I'm excited to invite you to a free outdoor screening of one of my favorite movies growing up, 10 Things I Hate About You. We'll be meeting on the sand at Granada Beach in Long Beach.
Bring your chair, blanket, snacks, and a beverage. We will be getting there a little early to reserve a good spot. You'll see a few flags around our area, so you know where to meet us. FYI, when the movie starts, we'll have to take down the flag, and it's dark, so it will be difficult to find us.
If you're a food truck connoisseur, you get to stock up at the food trucks that will be set up.
Timeline:
- 7:30pm or earlier to get a good spot
- 8:00pm-8:30pm - Movie starts (lights out)
- 9:45pm-10:00pm - Time to go home. :)
Parking:
This event attracts hundreds of people, so get there early to find a good spot. If you can walk or carpool, I'd recommend it.
FYI - This event will have a lot of people. It's being hosted by our friends at www.moonlightmoviesonthebeach.com if you want to get more details.Feel free to bring a friend. :)
See you there!
