About this place

Eight outdoor lighted pickleball courts in east Scottsdale, free to use, drop-in and not reservable. What sets this venue apart from almost every other one in this directory is not the count but the documentation: the City of Scottsdale publishes not just how many courts there are but how to share them. Its page for Cholla states the rule in full: play is standard game format, first side to 11 points or leading by at least two, with a 30-minute time limit, at which point players "should rotate off the court with any waiting players". It then adds the sentence that no other operator in this directory has published anywhere: "Mornings are typically the busiest time for pickleball play at Cholla."

Getting there

11320 E. Via Linda, Scottsdale, AZ 85259, which the Census geocoder matched to Scottsdale city, Maricopa County. This is a suburban park below the McDowell Mountains rather than a street-grid site. The City publishes nothing about parking.

What to expect

Turn up, put your paddle in the queue, and expect to wait in the morning. The courts are lit and open from sunrise to 10:30 p.m. daily. There is no booking system anywhere in Scottsdale, and no amplified sound is permitted at any of the City's pickleball locations. Games run to 11, win by two, and a 30-minute clock applies when people are waiting. Nothing is published about the surface or about nets. Restrooms are in the feature list on the park's own page, and the City states plainly that the courts are free to use.

Questions about Cholla Park

How many courts are there?

Eight. The City's pickleball page lists "Eight outdoor lighted courts" and the park's own page confirms it: "There are eight pickleball courts at Cholla Park, which are available for drop in public use and are not reservable."

Is it free?

Yes, and the City writes it down: "They are free to use."

When should I arrive to get on?

Not in the morning, if you can avoid it. The City states that mornings are typically the busiest time for pickleball play here. It is the only operator in this directory to have published a peak time at all, so this is the rare case where that advice is sourced rather than guessed.

What is the surface?

Not stated. Scottsdale states no surface at any of its venues.

What claiming does and does not doShow less

You can claim this listing and correct anything on it. To be clear about what claiming does and does not do: it gives you control of your own facts and a channel to reach us, and it is shown on the page as confirmed by the venue with the date you confirmed it.

It does not mark the listing verified, because a claim tells us who you are rather than checking what is here, and those are different things. It also buys no ranking, no sorting and no placement advantage over an unclaimed venue. The moment claiming bought position this would be an advertising product rather than a directory, and the whole promise would be gone.

Something wrong here?

If you play here and this is out of date, tell us. Corrections come with a source and a date attached, the same as everything else, and a correction that changes a court count gets checked against the city record before it goes live.
