Notes

During the warmer months, the ice rink area at Gallivan Center transforms into one of Salt Lake City’s most unique urban pickleball setups. Located right in the heart of downtown, the seasonal courts give players a chance to rally surrounded by city lights, restaurants, office towers, and the energy of downtown SLC. What makes the Gallivan setup especially fun is the atmosphere... this isn’t your traditional neighborhood park experience. In the winter, the space operates as Salt Lake’s iconic outdoor ice rink, but during summer and fall the rink area is repurposed into a multi-use sports court space that often includes pickleball. The downtown location makes it an easy stop for visitors, office workers, and groups looking to mix pickleball with dinner, concerts, or nightlife nearby. The courts tend to feel more social and casual than highly competitive, making it a fun option for players wanting a memorable city-play experience.
