Orem sits between Provo and Lehi, with a mix of public park courts and private clubs. The pickleball community here overlaps heavily with Provo and Lindon; many regulars play across all three cities depending on time of day and indoor availability.
Club Pickleball USA Orem is a 15-court indoor club on Sandhill Road, part of a 3-location Utah chain founded by Mike and Devan that bills itself as the largest organized pickleball community in the country on DUPR with over 60,000 players served. The Orem location includes 2 championship-size courts (Court 1 and Court 4), a skinny singles court, warm-up dink courts, a pro shop, lounge, and a party room. Programming runs deep: round robins, king and queen's court events, leagues, ladders, MiLP 20, DUPR Reset events, skills and drills clinics. Coach Bob, an 81-year-old former pro and book author, runs the well-loved free intro lessons.
Nasty Erne Nelsons Pickleball Gym is a small indoor training-focused court off I-15 in Orem. It runs heated and cooled year-round, so winter play is comfortable. A small viewing alcove sits to the side for friends who want to watch without crowding the play area, and players can plug in their own music through the gym's speakers during a session. Reviewers consistently praise the court floor and net as top quality. The focus is training and short rentals rather than open-play community: bookings are taken by text, call, or email, and payment runs through Venmo.
The Hillcrest Park pickleball courts are the dedicated court cluster within Orem's newly-renovated Hillcrest Park on the east bench. The courts are less than a year old, well lit for evening play, and run by Orem Recreation through an online reservation system. Reviewers are split: the courts themselves are described as really nice, but the reservation requirement draws mixed reactions from drop-in players used to taxpayer-funded public courts being first-come, first-served. Lights stay on until 10:30 PM.
Hillcrest Park is Orem's recently-renovated east-bench community park, with something for nearly every age and activity. Pickleball courts share the property with a splash pad, multiple playgrounds with sensory and climbing features, ping pong tables, 9-square-in-the-air, an open grass field, baseball, a walking trail, and an indoor recreation building (Hillcrest Center) that can be reserved. The new build dates to the past few years and feels modern. Reviewers consistently praise cleanliness and the breadth of amenities; the few complaints are about wood-chip ground cover near baby play areas and persistent puddles in the grass.
Sharon Park's pickleball cluster is the dedicated 6-court block within Orem's Sharon Park, a popular and dog-friendly neighborhood park on the north end of the city. Reviewers consistently call the courts great but also overwhelmingly busy: even at off-peak hours, players regularly find them full. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with the rest of the park's playground and grass right next door for kids and waiting partners. Courts are lighted for evening play.
Bonneville Park is a mid-sized Orem neighborhood park on the north end of the city with 4 lighted pickleball courts that share the property with a full-size basketball court, a tennis court, a recently-renovated playground, a covered pavilion with charcoal grills and seating for 60-plus, a big open grass field, restrooms, and a perimeter walking path. Reviewers describe it as one of Orem's better community parks; the pickleball courts have low fences and adequate spotlight illumination at night. The pickleball and tennis courts are usually packed during warm weather.
Padel Den is a padel-specific facility in Orem positioning itself as Utah's first dedicated padel club. The venue's website lists an anticipated opening of March 2026, and current Google reviews describe a modern, upbeat atmosphere with welcoming staff. Note this is padel, a racket sport played on an enclosed court with walls, not pickleball, though the two are sometimes confused. Reviewers highlight clean facilities, fair pricing, and a family-friendly environment. The club offers intro classes, open play, King of the Court events, and private lessons, with memberships structured around booking windows and peak-hour access.
Cherryhill Park is a small Orem neighborhood park notable for its mature shade trees, a playground that reviewers consistently praise, and 2 tennis courts that double as pickleball courts with lines painted for both. The park sits adjacent to Cherry Hill Elementary, with a connected basketball area at the school. Reviewers describe it as a quiet hidden-gem park that doesn't get overly crowded; the pickleball courts have lights for evening play but only two courts means they fill quickly. Sledding hill in winter.
Sharon Park is a 5.2-acre Orem neighborhood park on the north end of the city, with 6 pickleball courts, a large playground that was redone within the past few years, a 0.42-mile walking path, a large 120-seat pavilion with BBQ braziers, restrooms, and a hill that's popular for sledding in winter. The playground includes a zip line, climbing adventure area, and a spinning play structure. Reviewers describe it as a peaceful, well-maintained spot that used to be quiet and now draws steady crowds. Dogs are welcome.
The Orem Community Tennis Courts are a 9-court tennis facility on the west side of Orem near Mountain View High School, with at least 2 courts striped for pickleball play. Reviewers, one of whom calls it the best in Utah County, praise the high-quality nets, lighting for nighttime play, and shade for hot afternoons. The complex is primarily used for tennis, including high school practice and matches during spring and fall, so pickleball availability is secondary and dependent on tennis demand. Open 24 hours.
Orem Community Park is a large park adjacent to Mountain View High School on the west side of Orem, with 9 well-maintained tennis courts (some host high school matches), a baseball field, two large pavilions, a half-mile paved walking trail, a climbing-focused playground with rope spiderweb structures and a special-needs swing, restrooms, and big open grass for volleyball or pickup soccer. Reviewers do not specifically mention pickleball courts here, though the 9-court tennis complex shares the property with the adjacent Orem Community Tennis Courts venue, which has pickleball lines on at least 2 courts.
Northridge Park is a 5-acre Orem neighborhood park tucked behind Northridge Elementary School with 4 brand-new pickleball courts, 2 tennis courts (each separately fenced), a recently-renovated playground with separate toddler equipment, football and soccer fields, a 0.44-mile walking path, and two pavilions (one large 120-seat, one small 16-seat). Reviewers describe it as a peaceful, hidden park at the foot of the mountains. The pickleball and tennis courts are brand new as of 2025, and reviewers are excited about the upgrade.
Cascade Park is an Orem neighborhood park behind Cascade Elementary School with a tennis court, a basketball court, a soccer field, a sand volleyball area, two pavilions, mature shade trees, a large grassy hill for picture-taking or winter sledding, and a unique playground that includes a zipline. Pickleball use here is unofficial: reviewers note pickleball players have been using the tennis courts despite signs stating the courts are for tennis only. Plan to share or wait if you bring a portable net.
