Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre

Court Details

About this court

Located at 300 Pères-Blancs Avenue, Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre is a public pickleball destination in Ottawa, ON, Canada, operating on a pay-to-play model with online booking to reserve court time in advance. Dedicated courts with permanent nets are available, and restrooms are on site. The centre is open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and weekends from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering a consistent weekly schedule for players planning regular sessions. The facility holds a 4.5 Google rating across 236 reviews, though much of that reflects the centre's broader community programming. Players who have visited specifically for pickleball mention concerns worth noting: the court condition is currently rated as needing work, with reports of faint markings and aging net equipment. Those arriving expecting multiple courts should be aware that availability appears limited. Online booking is a listed feature, but players have flagged that coordinating with other participants in advance is advisable to avoid arriving without opponents. The centre does offer restrooms and a community-oriented atmosphere — visitors to other programs describe a clean, well-organized space with welcoming staff — but pickleball-focused visitors should confirm court details before making the trip.
