11 pickleball courts
in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Salt Lake City spreads its public pickleball across neighborhood parks rather than one central hub. Fairmont Park in Sugar House anchors it with six courts, the Avenues bench has courts at 11th Avenue Park and 5th Ave & C Street, and the west side adds Glendale Regional Park. For indoor year-round play there is The Picklr in Brickyard. The city has more courts than any single list captures, and a Fairmont Park redesign is set to add more.

Fairmont Park
1040 E Sugarmont Dr,, Salt Lake City, UT 84106, USAFairmont Park is a 27-acre Sugar House landmark where pickleball is one piece of a dense recreation menu. The city counts six pickleball courts here alongside basketball hoops, volleyball, soccer fields, horseshoes, a skate park, and a stocked fishing pond. The setting is a working neighborhood park, not a dedicated paddle complex, so expect families at the playground, dogs in the off-leash area, and walkers on the paths around the pond. Mature trees, many over 50 years old, shade much of the grounds. Salt Lake City has unveiled a long-term redesign that includes additional pickleball courts, with a first construction phase possibly starting in early 2027.

11th Avenue Park
581 Terrace Hills Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84103, USASix dedicated outdoor pickleball courts sit at the top of 11th Avenue Park, on the Avenues bench above downtown Salt Lake City. The draw here is location: the courts overlook the valley, and reviewers consistently call out the views, especially at night. The flip side is the crowd. Several players describe groups that lock down courts for private play, a confusing waiting system, and long waits when open play is busy. This is a free, first-come park facility next to four tennis courts, so expect to share the hilltop and to manage your own rotation. Come with a foursome if you want a guaranteed game, or come for the scenery.

Peckleball Palace
1775 S Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84104, USAPeckleball Palace is a dedicated indoor pickleball facility on Redwood Road, southwest of downtown Salt Lake City. The venue runs three indoor courts under high ceilings, with privacy screens between them to cut down on errant balls and noise. It is owner-operated by Russ and Heidi, and reviewers repeatedly single out Russ for welcoming drop-ins and organizing games. The 5.0 rating across 123 reviews points to a regular crowd that ranges from first-timers to 3.5-plus competitive players. Courts are booked through the Court Reserve app, and the indoor setup means year-round play regardless of Utah weather. Expect a friendly, social room rather than a quiet practice hall.

The Picklr Salt Lake City
1180 Brickyard Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84106, USAAn indoor pickleball club at the Brickyard plaza off 1300 East, part of the Utah-founded Picklr franchise. The Salt Lake City location runs eight dedicated courts purpose-built for the game rather than lines taped onto a gym floor, with overhead sound-reducing baffles and pro-grade lighting. It opened in September 2024 and runs on a membership model with nationwide access across Picklr clubs, plus court reservations for non-members. The room is built around organized play: open play sessions, club leagues, DUPR-rated events, clinics, and an academy that serves both adults and juniors ages 5 to 17. Reviewers describe pristine, clean courts and a strong league community, and the venue draws corporate-event and tournament bookings.

5th Ave & C Street Pickleball Courts
230 C St E, Salt Lake City, UT 84103, USATwo dedicated pickleball courts in a quiet Avenues neighborhood, converted from what used to be two tennis courts. This is a small, no-frills spot on a hard surface with permanent nets, free to use, and run on a simple first-come, first-served basis. There is no pick-up rotation or reservation system, so groups of two or four claim a court and play. Players describe good morning shade, decent views, and a handful of mismatched chairs for waiting. Regulars compare it to the larger 11th Ave courts: less crowded but still busy at peak times. The setting sits up a notable hill from the nearest transit stop.

Glendale Regional Park
1235 W 1700 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84104, USATwelve outdoor pickleball courts anchor the first piece of Salt Lake City's first new regional park in more than 60 years. The courts opened in August 2025 on the west side of the city, converted from four older tennis courts into a full block of dedicated pickleball play. Salt Lake City revised its plan to put 12 courts here rather than the four originally drawn up, making this one of the larger public clusters on the west side. The surrounding park is still filling in: a new all-abilities playground, basketball courts, a pavilion, and restrooms are open, with later phases still under construction. Reviews so far skew positive on the courts and the build quality.

Rosewood Park Pickleball courts
1400 N 1200 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, USAEight dedicated pickleball courts opened here in September 2024 in Salt Lake City's Rose Park neighborhood, built on the footprint of the park's former tennis courts just east of Guadalupe School. The courts arrived as the visible payoff of an underground project: the city's Department of Public Utilities ran a sewer realignment beneath the park, then resurfaced the area for play. Most of the tennis courts were converted to pickleball, with one tennis court left in place. The rest of Rosewood Park surrounds the courts with multi-purpose fields, a skate park, a playground, a walking path, and a dog park, so a session here sits inside a full city park rather than a standalone facility.

10th East Senior Center
237 S 1000 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84102, USAPickleball here runs off a Salt Lake County senior center at 237 South 1000 East, near downtown. The play is on four hard courts, three outdoors and one indoors, with permanent lines and lights for evening sessions. This is a community-program setting rather than a dedicated club, sitting alongside tai chi, fitness classes, a small gym, ping pong, and pool tables. Court access reflects that mix: drop-in, first-come, and not reservable. One important caveat as of mid-2026: the Tenth East Senior Center closed September 5 for an estimated 18-month remodel, and programs have shifted to the South Salt Lake Senior Center during construction. Confirm reopening before planning a session.

George S. Eccles Student Life Center, 1836 Student Life Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USAPickleball here lives inside the University of Utah's main campus recreation building, not at a standalone court complex. The university's recreation portal lists Pickleball Courts under Legacy North, part of the Legacy Gyms, a multi-purpose gym space that also rotates through soccer, volleyball, table tennis, and basketball. That means lines taped on shared gym floors rather than dedicated permanent courts, with nets set up during posted blocks. The Eccles Student Life Center is a large, modern facility holding weight rooms, an indoor track, basketball courts, a climbing gym, and indoor and outdoor pools, so pickleball is one activity among many. Access runs through campus membership, which shapes who plays and when.

Poplar Grove Park
775 S 1200 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84104, USAA neighborhood park on Salt Lake City's west side, at 775 S 1200 W, where pickleball has shared space with tennis rather than claiming its own. The city lists the racquet surface as two courts with pickleball lines, so players have set up on overlaid lines using a tennis net that sits taller than a regulation pickleball net. The rest of the park reads as a community gathering spot: a playground, a sand volleyball court, four horseshoe courts, a half basketball court, a reservable pavilion, and a baseball field. Reviews lean toward barbecues and family afternoons, which fits the low-key, multi-use character. A city court project is set to change the pickleball picture here.

Vista Park
21101510020000, Salt Lake City, UT 84118, USAVista Park is a neighborhood park in Taylorsville with two outdoor pickleball courts added next to the playground as part of the city's 2023 pickleball expansion. This is a family park first, with a playground, baseball fields, open grass, a pavilion, and restrooms, and the courts sit within that mix rather than at a dedicated complex. Reviews describe a clean, well-kept park in a quiet residential pocket near 5000 South, popular with families and dog owners. Players looking for a casual, walk-up game close to home will find it here; it is not a tournament destination, and a single pair of courts means the experience scales with how busy the park is on a given afternoon.
