These courts are truly impressive, boasting a total of 16. Very crowded at night. However, please refrain from visiting during weekdays between 9 am and 5 pm in the summer for open play, as the courts will be empty.

Went there for the first time yesterday at around 3 pm. I played four games with a great group of people without waiting. The courts really started to fill up at around 4 pm. A few days later, on 1/17/25, I took these photos. It was 6:30 pm, and the courts were full, but the paddle rotation was respected, and I got to play four games before I had to leave.Update 2/6/2026 8 new courts are under construction right now!

★★★★★

Eight dedicated pickleball courts with fairly easy group to mix with. Prime time is early morning after 6:30 am until 9 am and evening after sundown. Could use more courts.

★★★★★

Pickleball courts are brand new and the pickleball culture is awesome here too. You can start as early as 6 am and play as late as 10 pm and even 11 pm during the summer months.
