Court Details

About this court

Pickleball in Fairbanks, AK takes a uniquely seasonal form at this dual-location setup: winters move indoors to the UAF Student Rec Center, while summers shift to the Big Dipper's 5 outdoor courts, complementing 4 indoor courts year-round. Public access is available weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with structured play sessions scheduled throughout the week — including early morning and evening slots — for a modest $10 yearly fee. The venue claims a genuine geographic distinction as the farthest north pickleball club in the United States. Amenities include restrooms and locker rooms on-site. Players interested in joining can reach coordinator Melody Springer at 907-457-4068. Rated 3.9 on Google, visitor feedback reflects mixed experiences with administrative staff, though the courts and play environment receive positive mention.
