We’re going to find the Pickleball Venue of the Year! Nominate Your Favorite Now

The courts you love deserve the spotlight, help us crown the best

Open Play Post is officially launching its first-ever Pickleball Venue of the Year award, and the nomination window is now open.

This isn’t about the biggest club or fanciest venue (though those are welcome too). It’s about your favorite place to play—the venue that makes you excited to grab your paddle and get out there. Maybe it’s the community vibe, the incredible staff, the killer round robins, or just the clean bathrooms and comfy benches. Whether it’s your pickleball palace, or the beachy club where everyone knows your name, we want to know:

💬 Where do you love to play… and why?

We’re looking for places across the U.S., indoor or outdoor that are all about pickleball. Our goal is to spotlight venues that elevate the player experience and bring the spirit of pickleball to life.

Nominate your favorite spot using the link below. It only takes a minute, and yes—you can absolutely nominate more than one!
