Palm Beach County’s Pickleball: Every Court, Every Club, and Every Community Joining the Game

From Boca Raton to Jupiter, pickleball has taken over Palm Beach County — and it’s not slowing down.
Cities are building massive new facilities, developers are investing in private clubs with courts rivaling tennis resorts, and players of all ages are trading in golf tees and tennis racquets for paddles.

Here’s your complete guide to where Palm Beach County plays, practices, and celebrates America’s fastest-growing sport — across public parks, private clubs, and brand-new venues.


1. Patch Reef Park – Boca Raton’s All-Weather Showcase

When the City of Boca Raton opened its brand-new covered pickleball complex at Patch Reef Park, it became a local game-changer — literally.
The facility includes 18 covered courts, each designed for comfort, competition, and Florida’s unpredictable weather. High ceilings, industrial fans, LED lighting, and open-air ventilation make it playable year-round, rain or shine. Two of the courts are ADA-compliant, and there’s seating for spectators, shaded bleachers, and expanded parking for tournament crowds.

Reservations and open-play blocks are managed through the PlayByPoint app, giving players flexibility whether they’re looking for drop-in play or private lessons.

What makes Patch Reef special isn’t just the size — it’s the city’s commitment to elevating recreation. The covered design means less canceled games, more community tournaments, and a future hub for local and state-level competitions. It’s more than a park — it’s a landmark for the pickleball movement in Palm Beach County.


2. CityPickle West Palm Beach – Urban Energy Meets Pickleball Lifestyle

For players who crave both competition and community, CityPickle West Palm Beach delivers a one-of-a-kind experience.
Located at 545 Hibiscus Street, this indoor pickleball club brought the buzz of a Miami social club to the heart of downtown West Palm. The 13 courts sit beneath a modern, air-conditioned space with lounge seating, a bar, and a full café serving small plates and drinks between games.

It’s not just a place to play — it’s where pickleball meets nightlife. Happy hours, mixers, and themed events are as common as matches. Whether you’re a first-timer or a 5.0 tournament player, you’ll find your spot here.

CityPickle operates seasonally, closing during the summer months and reopening when demand peaks in the fall and winter. Even so, it’s been a catalyst for transforming pickleball into something bigger than a sport — it’s become a culture.


3. The Replay Club – Boynton Beach’s Sports & Social Sanctuary

If you’re looking for the ultimate pickleball experience — where luxury meets lifestyle — look no further than The Replay Club.
Located at 6600 High Ridge Road in Boynton Beach, this 100,000-square-foot facility is more than just a court complex — it’s a full-fledged athletic and social retreat. Inside, you’ll find seven indoor pickleball courts, over ten padel courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, spa, café, and members’ lounge.

Replay caters to both serious players and social seekers. Membership options range from sport-specific access to full-club privileges, which include event invitations, private training, and health and wellness programs.

The interiors feel like a luxury hotel — warm lighting, modern finishes, and a laid-back sophistication that’s distinctly South Florida.
It’s not unusual to see professionals networking courtside, friends gathering for drinks after doubles, or families playing side by side on weekends. Replay isn’t just where you play — it’s where you belong.


4. Lilac Pickleball Courts – Palm Beach Gardens’ Public Gem

If Boca and Boynton bring the flair, Palm Beach Gardens brings the accessibility.
The Lilac Pickleball Courts, tucked just west of Military Trail, are home to 24 lighted outdoor courts, making it one of the largest public pickleball complexes in the state.

The atmosphere is community-driven: retirees mix with young professionals, and regulars welcome newcomers with a smile and a spare paddle. The city operates the facility with “managed hours” — offering scheduled programs, clinics, and events for a small fee — but outside those hours, the courts are open for free public play.

This balance keeps the venue inclusive while ensuring maintenance and programming stay top-notch. On any given morning, you’ll hear laughter, see coolers parked courtside, and watch strangers become fast friends.


5. Tennis & Pickleball Center – Structured Play and Professional Coaching

Also located in Palm Beach Gardens, the Tennis & Pickleball Center at 5110 117th Court North offers a blend of recreational fun and competitive edge.
The facility boasts 10 dedicated pickleball courts, a full-service pro shop, locker rooms, and an inviting clubhouse.

What sets it apart is its structured programming — including beginner clinics, skill workshops, junior programs, and adult leagues. For those looking to improve their game, the coaching staff is among the best in South Florida, offering lessons that focus on strategy, footwork, and technique.

This venue is ideal for players who thrive on routine — the kind of person who enjoys a morning rally, a structured doubles match, and coffee with teammates afterward. It’s also a local favorite for tournaments and charity fundraisers, giving it both community heart and professional polish.


6. John Prince Memorial Park – Lake Worth’s Lakeside Courts

For a more relaxed setting, John Prince Memorial Park in Lake Worth Beach offers six lighted courts surrounded by green space and waterfront views.
It’s one of Palm Beach County’s original public pickleball spots and continues to be a favorite for open play, friendly games, and families introducing their kids to the sport.

Players often bring their own nets and gear, creating an old-school vibe that captures the grassroots spirit of pickleball.
The courts are free to use, first-come, first-served, and part of the broader Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation network, which also maintains excellent courts at Caloosa Park (Boynton Beach), Burt Aaronson South County Park (Boca Raton), Carlin Park (Jupiter), and Okeeheelee Park (West Palm Beach).

These parks may not have lounges or apps, but they have something just as important — community. The regulars know each other by name, and newcomers are always welcomed with a wave and a grin.


7. Boca Paddle by CityPickle – The Future of Indoor Play

The next major addition to Boca Raton’s recreation map is the highly anticipated Boca Paddle by CityPickle, a public-private partnership set to open in early 2026.
The $20 million complex will feature 25 courts total — including 14 indoor pickleball courts and six padel courts — plus a restaurant, fitness lounge, and event space.

Developed in collaboration with Butters Construction, this massive 100,000-square-foot facility will anchor Boca’s growing pickleball culture and become one of the largest dedicated indoor pickleball centers in the state.
It’s expected to host regional tournaments, corporate events, and a full calendar of community activities.

When it opens, Boca Paddle will bridge the gap between public and private — offering world-class amenities while keeping local players at the core of its mission.


8. The County Network – Dozens of Courts, One Community

Palm Beach County’s Parks & Recreation Department continues to expand its pickleball offerings every year. Beyond the flagship parks already mentioned, additional courts are found in neighborhoods from Jupiter Farms to Wellington, and from Delray Beach to Greenacres.

Most county-run courts are free, open from sunrise to 10 p.m., and maintained regularly. Many also host free “intro to pickleball” events and senior leagues.
These facilities form the heart of the county’s pickleball community — accessible, welcoming, and filled with people who play for the love of it.


Palm Beach Wired Takeaway

Palm Beach County has officially gone paddle-crazy.
From city-run parks like Patch Reef and Lilac, to luxury destinations like Replay Club and the soon-to-open Boca Paddle, the sport is bridging generations, communities, and lifestyles.

Whether you’re in it for the competition, the cardio, or the camaraderie, there’s a court with your name on it.
Pickleball isn’t just a pastime anymore — it’s part of the Palm Beach experience.

So grab your paddle, check your app, and get ready to join the most exciting movement in South Florida.
