Pickleball is a racquet sport combining badminton, tennis and table tennis. The sport is played on a smaller court with a net that’s just a bit lower than tennis using a hard paddle and a whiffle ball. It is accessible to a wide range of players and athletic abilities due to the court size and speed of play. If you haven’t played before, we’ll teach you! If you have played, we’ll provide good competition!

Indoor Drop-In Pickleball - Parker Fieldhouse

  • Cost: $7 Adults, $6 Seniors (62+)
  • SilverSneakers and Parker Recreation Memberships apply.

  • Time: 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. - Must arrive at the beginning of a session to participate.

Structured play creates 1.5 hour time blocks for players in specific but similar skill ratings. We use self-ratings for all Pickleball programs and play. See below. Plan to play at your assigned rating and assigned time(s) only. If a group requests players play up to create an even number of players, they may stay. However, play is intentionally divided by skill level to create balanced play at ALL skill levels.

Round Robin play is determined by the number of players who arrive to play on any given day. Sign in on the provided whiteboard when you arrive and use the number you signed in as for the Round Robin scheduling. Round Robin schedules are provided on-site; click here for examples.

Review the spring schedule for Indoor Structured Drop-in; on Wednesdays only.
