Paso Robles Pickleball Club started  in 2010 on temporary courts that were once a roller hockey arena that was part of Centennial Park. Since that time it has grown to over 100 adult (18+) members on permanent courts. You don't need a partner or balls or even a paddle (we have some loaners), but good tennis shoes are a must. The club is under the auspices of PR Parks and recreation as an activity for adults for which one needs to register.

​

Court Shoes: 

It is very important to wear appropriate court (tennis) shoes. The correct shoes are non-marking and have cross-hatched (herring bone) tread designed to help players more easily move sideways as well as forward and backward. Running or cross-training shoes are not recommended and can even be dangerous to the wearer. 

​

Hours and Days: 

Play has resumed with social distancing. Join us for all the fun on Mondays through Saturdays from 8:00 AM (7:30 AM in summer) to 11:30 AM. 

​

Fees:

Daily Fee: $3.00 paid at the gate for visitors.

Membership: $10 per month paid every 6 months online at Paso Robles Recreation. Dept.

So what is Pickleball? 

 

Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. 

 

It is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.  It is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes and most often played as doubles.  Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America.
