Court Rules

Welcome to Mitchell Park!

Here are a few tips to make sure you have a good experience:

  • We have 15 public courts that offer drop-in play, 7 days a week from sunrise to 10pm

  • Please note that, while the court rules remain the same, as of October 7, 2024, our procedure for joining a game have changed.

  • Instead of placing paddles next to a net in order to join a game, we are now using paddle racks, which we hope will reduce court congestion. The Pickleball Court Rules signs will soon be updated to reflect this change.

  • When all courts are full and players are waiting, there is a one-game limit.

  • Players can join a game or take over a court by placing two or four paddles in the paddle rack for a specific court.

  • Two paddles will challenge the winners of a game.

  • Four paddles will take over a court. 

  • Please use an empty court before placing paddles in a rack for a court in play.

  • When placing two paddles in a rack, choose a court that best matches your skill level.

  • If you don’t have a partner, go to court 10, which is designated for Players Without Partners.

  • Court 9 is designated as Beginner-Friendly and we encourage all beginners to start there.

  • If you are confused or have questions, ask someone with a name tag. They are club members and generally very happy to help.
