Earlier in 2024, pickleball was named the fastest growing sport in the United States by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association for the third year in a row. In honor of National Pickleball Day on Aug. 8, we’re roundup up a few of the ways to play in the Tampa Bay area.
- The City of Tampa has courts at several of its parks, including Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, MacFarlane Park, and Vila Brothers Park.
- St. Pete has similar offerings around the city, with Crescent Lake a popular choice for many locals.
- Tampa Pickleball Crew’s indoor facility opened in 2023, with lessons + sessions available for players of all skill levels in Ybor City. Did we mention it’s air-conditioned?
