Powered by GoogleVisiting from Michigan for work and was recommended this place by a local coworker. The owner, Chris, was so welcoming and took the time to look into timeslots better fit for my level even though I don't mind playing with beginners. The venue is aesthetically pleasing - I wish I could bring my friends from home here for a pickleball party! Highly recommend!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience here. Our church small group was looking for a fun outing together, and this was exactly it. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our group ranged in age from 8 to 50, and everyone was able to jump in and have a great time. The instruction was clear, welcoming, and made it easy for beginners to understand the game quickly. Within just a couple of hours, everyone felt confident playing, and we left genuinely excited about pickleball. The atmosphere was fun, encouraging, and perfect for a group activity like ours. We also really appreciated how helpful and open the staff were about future opportunities like clinics, junior programs, and group rentals. As a homeschool family, we would love to see something like a weekly or bi-weekly class offered in the future. This would be such a great fit for our community. Highly recommend for church groups, families, or anyone looking for a fun, active outing. We will definitely be back.
Absolutely love the Pickleball Playground. I moved here in January and picked up the sport. Doug and Karm have been crucial in teaching me. I feel like I belong to a community. I’ve made friends and everyone is welcoming and kind. They have created a fun atmosphere where everyone feels like family. I’m very grateful for the clinics and lessons to help teach me how to play the sport properly. I love the ladders on Saturday. I’m so glad I found this sport and even happier it’s at the Playground. Chris and his wife have done an amazing job with this indoor facility. It’s well maintained, clean, great music, and there is a great variety of times and levels for open plays. The staff is friendly, organized and has great communication skills. 5 stars for sure!
Wonderful place to play pickleball, have birthday parties and even have a drink or two from the self serve bar/lounge area. Great couches and chairs for people to visit with each other, plus seating along each court. All courts have been resurfaced. Central heat and air, huge ceiling fans if needed. Just a beautiful area to play. Staff are all helpful and pleasant. They offer outdoor courts also. I've taken several classes fron the pros there and all of them have been worth the time. One other thing, they offer classes for kids 7 to 11 years old. My daughter did that class 3 times and now they have an open play for the junior's who now can play pickleball. Love that!
On vacation and stopped here for some drop in play. 10 indoor courts with high ceilings and good lighting. Was surprised to see 4 courts of men's 4.0 playing early morning. All levels available including intro play. And after you play, there's a hang out area with taps available. Definitely worth a try
