When you’re booking a court with PKL, you’re booking an experience. With each booking, you will receive complimentary paddles and equipment rentals as well as a private courtside cabana with food and beverage service. The more the merrier, meaning some can play and some can sit back, make line calls and sip on a cocktail.
