Scottsdale’s Best Tennis and Pickleball

Scottsdale’s best Tennis and Pickleball courts are here! With many choices — public, resort and private communities exist for visitors and residents to stay active and socially engaged. Here are full details on each, including lessons and tables from North to South.

If tennis is your racquet or pickleball is your paddle, feel the love! Scottsdale teems with options for the setting your heart desires.

With temps dropping in October, tennis and pickleball get into full swing. Those who can take the summer heat hit the courts early or a night, year round.

Here are your many options to play both sports.

Public Tennis Courts

Like all assets provided by Scottsdale Parks and Rec, its top-seeded tennis facilities and programs are exceptional.

The City provides two outstanding public Tennis Centers and courts are also available at most of its 40+ parks.

Scottsdale Ranch Park Tennis Center is located Centrally:

Named an Outstanding Public Tennis Facility for 2019 by the USTA, it has 18 newly rebuilt LED-lighted hard courts, with blended lines for junior play and instruction. It offers Junior tennis based on USTA’s Net Generation program.

Scottsdale Ranch Tennis Center offers pro amenities, including free USTA ratings, adult tennis leagues & lessons, tournaments and more. They even offer racquetball and squash.

And, Indian School Park Tennis Center is located at Indian School Park near the Downtown|Old Town areas.

It’s named a ‘Southwest Section Member Organization of the Year’ by the USTA. And it has 13 newly rebuilt LED-lighted tennis courts, plus 4 LED-lighted racquetball courts.
