Outdoor Basketball Courts

The YMCA’s outdoor courts feature a full-size basketball court and typically open in the spring as soon as weather allows. They remain open into the fall as long as conditions permit. The outdoor court is open to the entire community, and no YMCA membership is required.

Pickleball is a paddle sport for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and easy to learn, making it a great option for beginners, while still offering fast-paced, competitive play for more experienced players.

The game combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It can be played indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net, and games may be played as singles or doubles.

During the winter months, pickleball is played in the YMCA gymnasium. Pickleball paddles and plastic balls are available for checkout at the Y’s membership desk.

Outdoor Pickleball Courts

The YMCA’s outdoor pickleball courts include ten courts and typically open in the spring as soon as weather allows. The courts remain open through the fall as long as conditions permit. A schedule for the outdoor courts will be posted when they open.

Outdoor pickleball is open to the entire community, and no YMCA membership is required.
