Cholla Park

Court Details

About this court

Cholla Park in Scottsdale, Arizona is a well-established public pickleball destination featuring 8 dedicated outdoor courts that are free to play every day of the week, from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. All eight courts are lighted for evening sessions, fully fenced, and equipped with permanent pickleball nets — a setup players consistently describe as impressive for a public facility. Restrooms are located just south of the courts, and the park carries a solid 4.5 Google rating across 26 reviews. Open play and drop-in sessions are the standard format, drawing a regular mix of newer and more experienced players. Visitors mention that seasoned players tend to gravitate toward the west side courts while newer players often play on the east side, though all are welcome anywhere. The welcoming atmosphere stands out in player feedback, with multiple reviewers noting that beginners felt comfortable joining in and meeting others. The park has even attracted pickleball enthusiasts visiting from abroad, speaking to its reputation beyond the immediate area. A few practical notes for first-time visitors: parking in the main lot is limited, especially when baseball games are scheduled, so additional parking is available at the school to the southwest. The City of Scottsdale requests that players use sound-reducing paddles from the approved Green Zone list — details available at pball.grandpickleball.org/paddlerule.pdf — to help address neighborhood noise concerns. For questions or more information, Scottsdale Parks & Recreation can be reached at 480-312-7275.
