Robert Wilson· 3 weeks agoI showed up for pickleball solo at about 8:15 Sunday morning, and there were plenty of people already! All nine courts were packed for the two hours I played. The group turned out to be awesome, and I'll definitely be back!
Gail Allison Lindquist· a month agoAbsolutely stellar day 🌴 A beautiful park for young children! My granddaughters loved it 🥰
Hiroyo Morimura· 8 months agoIt’s a nice place to play pickleball. They have beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections, but when I went (8–9 a.m. Sunday morning), there were no beginners. Intermediate and advanced players were using the beginner section. I ended up joining them but started feeling bad because I’m still a beginner. Don’t put your paddle in the beginner rack, bc you’ll be waiting forever. If you’re a beginner, I recommend going to Pompano in Sarasota. It’s a bit farther, but it’s a lot of fun for all levels.
Sean Murphy· a month agoExcellent park. Pickleball facilities are state of the art. Lights. 9 courts. Excellent surfaces. Very good competition. I played like crap. Oh well. Next time.
