Events AND Monthly Stammtisches

SAFS Spring
Pickleball Fun

(with Après-event)
Sunday April 28th, 2024

Clear Creek Valley Park
5801 Lowell Blvd, Denver, CO 80221
2:30 to 5:30 PM

Spring is here and with the weather getting warmer, we’re bringing back pickleball! Join us the last Sunday of the month at North Denver’s Clear Creek Valley Park for some outdoor fun. Because of the increasing popularity of this game and only two courts reserved, we are limiting the event to the first 20 members and friends to sign up by email. Beyond 20 people, you are welcome to come spectate, enjoy the park and possibly play depending on the remaining courts availability. SAFS member and employee of Babolat’s local office, Kristina Brandner will provide us with paddles and balls and snacks will be available. I call Babolat the ‘Wilson of France!’ Cost will be $5 per member and $8 per friend/non-member and will be collected on site at CCVP. So RSVP ASAP if your available to join us… That’s a lot of acronyms!🎾

With CCVP only 10 minutes away from Waldschänke Ciders + Coffee, join us after we wind down from pickleball and make our way over to the cidery, around 6:00 PM for some Après-Ball with delicious cider, coffee and Swiss food from the Eurowagen! Waldschänke's menu of delicious ciders und food from the Eurowagen can be found online und ordered on site to enjoy.

Everyone is welcome and thank you for your membership and support of Denver’s largest Swiss Club. Remember, RSVP only available by email, but visit Facebook for info and pictures from the event.

Hopp Schwiiz! 🇨🇭
