That brings us to … pickleball. Yes, pickleball. It turns out that pickleball courts are the most requested amenity that people are looking for in their communities. In fact, it’s the fastest-growing sport in America with nearly 5 million Americans now playing the sport — a 39.3% increase from two years ago. So, let’s take a look at some of the best places to play around Central Ohio.

It is safe to say that people are crazy about Pickleball in Dublin! The primary outdoor pickleball courts are at Coffman Park, with eight dedicated public courts. The courts have separation fences, a center aisle to get to each court, lights, benches, picnic tables, a shelter house, free parking, and restrooms. The park is open from dusk to 11:00 PM and the courts are free to play.
In addition, there are Pickleball courts at a few of the local parks scattered throughout the northwest suburb, including Balgriffin, Brighton, Donegal Cliffs, and Wellington Parks.
