Indoor Pickleball

Pickleball is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Pickleball can be played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court using a slightly modified tennis net. It is played as doubles or singles with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. The sport has many physical and social benefits.

Outdoor Courts

Raleigh Parks has 6 permanent outdoor pickleball courts located at Method Community Park and 6 permanent outdoor courts at North Hills Park.

These courts are open from dusk until 10 p.m. with lighting on timer. Players are asked to follow all posted rules regarding rotating courts.

Work is expected to begin on Monday, September 27, 2021 and should be completed no later than November 13, 2021. This schedule may change due to unforeseen conditions and weather delays.
