A US pickleball court directory
Looking for pickleball near you? Search indoor and outdoor pickleball courts across the US, with court counts, lights, cost and the source behind each fact.
We would rather list fewer courts and get them right. Every court marked “verified” has been checked against a real source, usually the city parks department that runs it, and each listing shows who that source is and when we last looked. Courts we have not checked yet are clearly labelled “unverified” instead of being mixed in.

Before a court is marked verified, we find out who actually runs it, usually the city parks department, and check the details against what they have published.

If nobody has published a detail, such as whether a court has lights, we say “Not stated” rather than guess. An honest blank beats a guess that sends you to a dark court.

Our facts come from city and county parks departments and the pages they publish about their own courts, not copied from other court websites. County and ZIP code come from the US Census.

Gear up
New to the game or upgrading your bag? Here is what most players buy first, in the order they usually buy it, and what each category actually does for your game.
The paddle — sometimes searched as a "pickleball racket" — is the single biggest upgrade a new player makes. Weight, grip size and core material change how the ball feels off the face more than anything else in the bag.
Shop pickleball paddlesIndoor and outdoor balls are not interchangeable. Outdoor balls are heavier, with smaller, more numerous holes built to cut through wind; indoor balls are lighter and fly faster on a smooth gym floor.
Shop pickleballsRunning shoes are built for forward motion, not the side-to-side stops a court demands. A proper pair of pickleball shoes is usually the second upgrade a player makes, right after a paddle.
Shop pickleball shoesEnough room for two paddles, a sleeve of balls, a water bottle and a change of shirt — the difference between one bag and a pile of gear on the bench.
Shop pickleball bagsFor driveways, gyms and parks with no permanent net. A regulation-height portable net turns any flat court-sized space into a place to play — see our court dimensions guide for the exact spec.

FAQ
Find answers about our pickleball court directory, verified listings, and how we keep venue information current.
Search by city, state, ZIP code, or court name to find pickleball courts and venues near you. You can also browse our directory by state and city.
Venues marked "Verified" have been checked against a named source, with the source and date shown on the listing. The directory also includes listings imported from public directory data that we have not independently confirmed yet — those are clearly labelled unverified rather than mixed in with verified ones.
We record when listing information was last reviewed and update it when new reliable information becomes available. Court details can change, so always check the venue's current information before visiting.
Depending on the venue, listings may include the address, number of courts, indoor or outdoor courts, lighting, access details, hours, amenities, and other useful information.
Yes. Where the information has been verified, you can use available filters to narrow your search by court characteristics such as indoor, outdoor, lighting, or access.
If you notice outdated or incorrect information, you can report the listing to us. We'll review the information and make corrections when they can be confirmed through a reliable source.
Yes. If you know of a pickleball venue that isn't in our directory, you can submit it through our listing submission form. New listings are reviewed before they are published.
We don't fill missing information with guesses. When a detail cannot be confirmed from a reliable source, we leave it unavailable until we can verify it.
