A small set of newer outdoor pickleball courts at Alta Canyon in Sandy, off Highland Drive in the city's southeast benches. Sandy City lists Alta Canyon as one of four park locations carrying its 17 public pickleball courts, alongside Crescent, Dewey Bluth, and Flat Iron Mesa. Reviewers describe four hard courts that play well and stay less crowded than the busier Flat Iron Mesa, with one player noting their foursome held the same court for a full session. The courts were part of a city resurfacing and LED-lighting program, so the surface and lights are recent. Shade is limited in the afternoon, and morning play can run cool before the lights matter.
Four outdoor courts with permanent nets and painted lines, free public city park play, no reservation system. Lights are installed for evening play, though one reviewer reported them not switching on in the morning. Parking is described as adequate. Mornings tend to be quiet; afternoons get more sun and less shade. There is no paddle rack on site, so players sort out rotation informally when courts fill. Flat Iron Mesa, also in Sandy, draws bigger crowds if you want a busier scene. Check Sandy City's Pickleball Courts page for current hours and any program use.
What locals say
“It's an awesome little pickleball court... But the lights don't work in the morning. Any ideas on where to contact to get lights on?”
“these courts are great! they don’t have much shade in the afternoon but besides that they are brand new and great for playing. not too busy either. flat iron tends to be more crowded.”
“Enough parking however it would be great if there was the paddle rack so when the courts are full other can paddle up.”
