Hy-vee Arena

Court Details

About this court

Situated at 1800 Genessee in Kansas City, MO, United States, Hy-vee Arena brings pickleball indoors across 9 courts inside one of the region's most recognizable multi-sport venues. Built in 1974 and seating up to 19,500, the arena is open to the public seven days a week — 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM — with a $5 pay-to-play fee and court counts that may vary based on concurrent events. The facility holds a 4.3 Google rating across over 1,600 reviews, reflecting a broad range of experiences from tournament competitors to casual visitors. The amenity list is substantial: locker rooms, restrooms, ADA accessibility, spectator seating, lights, food and drinks, and a tournament-ready setup place it well above a standard recreational site. Players note the expansive interior, comfortable seating compared to standard bleachers, and a well-organized food and concessions offering that stands out relative to similar arenas. The multi-sport designation means pickleball shares the calendar with basketball, gymnastics, and other events, so availability can shift. The court condition is currently rated as needing work, and that assessment is echoed in visitor feedback. Reviewers mention restroom facilities as a recurring area of concern, citing maintenance and cleanliness issues that have been consistent across visits. ADA navigation has also drawn attention, with some visitors pointing out that elevator access from accessible parking areas is not clearly marked. Despite these friction points, the overall sentiment leans positive for the venue's scale, atmosphere, and tournament infrastructure — making Hy-vee Arena a functional, if imperfect, destination for Kansas City pickleball players.
