Things to do during your stay

Wapato Point has so many things to do at the resort, you would never have to leave the property, and still not get it all done.  But there are also lots of local attractions that you can checkout while you are here.

Pickleball

Don’t fall into your opponents “kitchen”!  Pickleball is truly a game for all ages, shapes and skill levels.  Pickleball is a combination of badminton, ping-pong and tennis.  Players use a paddle that is reminiscent of ping-pong paddles, but is bigger and usually made of more advanced materials. The ball used is very similar to a plastic whiffle ball with holes covering the surface. Pickleball can be played as singles or doubles, just like tennis.  Come give it a try on our new pickleball courts – it will be a smash!
