Town of Greenwich Pickleball Courts
The Town of Greenwich Parks and Recreation Department offers access to 20 Pickleball courts for Greenwich residents.
Pickleball Court Summary
There are two indoor and 18 outdoor Pickleball courts. Nets are provided on 12 of the outdoor courts. Most are repurposed courts - e.g. lined tennis courts or gyms.
Only two of the 20 courts are ‘regulation’ dedicated Pickleball courts, vs. multi-use.
Residents are unable to search town facilities on the Greenwich ‘Find a Facility’ page by “Pickleball” so this list is a big help!
Nets are provided at most locations, but NOT for all the available lined courts. So bring your own net if you have one!
During the ‘season’ (April 1-December 1) only Greenwich Residents with a Tennis/Pickleball pass are allowed to reserve courts. Be sure you know the Town of Greenwich Pickleball court reservation & use rules, updated for 2023.
