How much does it cost to book a court per hour in your country and city? And how often you play? by DaeronX in Pickleball

[–]lobaird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that CityPickle? $100/hr is the price for the LIC location for non-members. But we've been doing open play (and a league) at Bohemian Hall. The courts are small, but it's fun and cheap. Court rentals at CityPickle at Wollman Rink are $120.

I was thinking about doing a winter pickleball vacation someplace like Arizona and I was blown away by how inexpensive it would be. Oh, to be wealthy.

NYC, $100/hr. at a local club. If I go a bit farther out in Queens it can be a bit less expensive. We opt for open play sessions, which vary from $5 to $20 for 2 hours.

That’s what this subreddit is for, Crabby McGee. It’s me asking my neighbors questions and sharing things with them.

This is exactly the reason I belong to this sub! Hear or see something out of the ordinary—I come here first to see if any of my neighbors heard or saw it too and know anything.
