Pickleball courts

Situated on Mitchell Drive near the base of East Rock, these outdoor pickleball courts serve as an accessible recreational hub for the New Haven racquet sports community. The facility features standard outdoor hardcourt surfaces finished with regulation pickleball striping and sturdy netting. Local players gather here throughout the spring, summer, and fall for open pickup games, casual doubles matches, and self-organized round-robins. Because the venue operates as part of the public recreational footprint in New Haven, court time is generally open-access, operating on a first-come, first-served rotation during peak hours. The tree-lined surroundings provide a pleasant neighborhood backdrop for competitive rallies and casual drills alike, drawing a dedicated mix of Yale university affiliates, East Rock residents, and visiting players looking for steady match play in the greater New Haven area.
