It’s like ping-pong meets badminton meets tennis!
Pickleball is played on these brand-new badminton-sized court, with a modified tennis net. It is played with a ping-pong like paddle that has a longer handle, and a plastic ball with holes, and can be played as doubles or singles. All ages and all skill levels can play pickleball!
Pickleball courts are available for open play only, on a first-come, first-served basis. When courts are full and others are waiting, please be respectful and follow these rules: games should be limited to one game to 11, win by 1; waiting players should stack their paddles in a single line (left to right) to claim the next open court. When the game finishes, a new set of 4 players can enter the court. Court time should be shared equally.
Brooklyn Bridge Park does not currently offer pickleball programs, lessons, or league permits.
