Pickleball has quickly become a favorite activity for the family, myself included, and we've been…read morechecking out as many pickleball venues (indoor and out) whenever possible. We went to Picklemall yesterday (on a Thursday evening) and it was packed! I am sure the rainy weather had something to do with it, but I guess we are not the only ones obsessed with playing... In fact, the "open play" that we thought we'd be able to jump into was all booked up for the evening. Luckily, one friend had a court reserved, and another one randomly appeared with another court reserved as well... So, we all got to play and get a little exercise! While there, I was introduced to some of the Picklemall staff including Chance, Hector, and Zach. I created accounts for the entire family and learned about all kinds of programming that Picklemall offers. I was quite impressed to learn that members and non-members are both welcome to participate in on-site events and programming including tournaments, clinics, social events and more. It sounds like there are options for players of all skill levels too. I've since learned that if you use the Picklemall app, you can easily get access to your gameplay footage, which sounds super cool... We are already planning on returning soon. See you there!

Ben Seeger is an amazing instructor! He is prompt and introduces himself. He explains and…read moredemonstrates as he's teaching, and he always asks if there are any questions. He uses terminology congruent to the game, then explains what the term mean. He's patient, and praises attempts, all the while reinforcing the fundamentals and always keeping the basics in focus.

He's concerned about safety making sure proper footwear is worn, sunscreen is applied, water beaks are taken and repeating if a ball is missed or on the ground, let it go so not to roll an ankle.

I've also attempted to utilize it on multiple occasions with no luck, but hoping that will change in the future. Based on my experience there, the courts are beautiful and there are some light concessions available. Plenty of parking as well. It looks like there are now clinics and open play offered throughout the week, so that may be something to look into in the future. In the past, the process to check availability was to call or text the GM directly, and the times that I was looking for just never worked out. With pickleball now a huge part of life for my family, I'm sure I'll be back soon!

This might be the best kept secret in the world of Scottsdale Pickleball. The facility is gorgeous!…read moreGreat courts, accessories, lighting, sound...everything is top notch. Online scheduling was a breeze, and the access process worked flawlessly. My only wish is that they had more than two courts once word gets out about this absolute gem of a pickleball facility. As it is, it's a perfect spot for a private event with your special group or just a practice session with a friend. Very highly recommended! (but don't tell too many others ;-)

There were a few homeless people around but felt safe inside the courts. I saw lots of families out on the playground to multiple courts being used.

They have racketball courts, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, corn hole area, playground (with a canopy cover for the aun), basketball and tennis courts. We will be back for sure.

"Where the dinks are pristine and the screams are Olympic-level"…read more Pickleball Backyard is the Disneyland of dink rallies -- seven beautiful courts so well maintained, you'll think you're playing in a tennis pro's dream journal. The staff? Superstars. Engaging, helpful, and somehow always managing to look cool while chasing rogue balls. The common areas are cleaner than my conscience after returning a serve just out and not calling it. Bathrooms? Spotless. Like, "I'd eat a post-match hot dog off the floor" clean. (I didn't, but I considered it.) However -- and I say this with affection -- when the competitive folks show up? Oh boy. It's less backyard and more Pickleball Thunderdome. Every point is a life-or-death struggle, punctuated by screams of "YEAHHHH!" like someone just won Wimbledon... and custody of the dog. But hey -- if you can dodge a ball and an ego, you'll have a great time. Bring earplugs, bring a good attitude, and bring your A-game. This place is a smash hit (literally).

Huge thanks to Pickleball Backyard for coming to the rescue over the weekend and hosting part of…read morethe 2025 ARIZONA Amateur Pickleball Championships powered by Carvana PPA Tour & PIG. There was a torrential downpour that day and the outdoor courts we were supposed to play on didn't work out for our women's doubles bracket. Thanks to some quick thinking by Nanna B and the tournament organizers, they found Pickleball Backyard and we were still able to play! My daughter and I made it, albeit a bit late, but it all worked out... We found the courts to be great, the employees super nice, and the overall facility more than adequate. We utilized the restroom, took some photos on the podium, and refilled our water bottles. They have some snacks / vending machines and I hear they are open 24/7, which is pretty cool! It is a bit far from home, otherwise I'd say we'd be back soon and often. Thanks again PB!

I particularly enjoyed Riley's focus on the reasoning behind why certain techniques are preferred over others; rather than simply telling learners they had to change an established habit, Riley explains the underlying logic and then gives learners the opportunity to experience the difference for themselves. This approach was particularly effective in helping me compare the habits I've become accustomed to with the immediate, observable results of correcting my footwork or technique. Riley also did an excellent job balancing individual skill development with practical demonstrations of how those skills translate to a competitive environment. I left the session with a better understanding of the techniques we practiced and felt more confident about applying them during open play with others.

Love this little park!…read more I live close by and run/walk the nearby canal often, but never thought to review it until now... My family recently took up pickleball and GR Herberger currently has four pickleball courts. The park also has two tennis courts, two sand volleyball courts, some picnic tables and benches, a private parking lot, public bathrooms, a grassy area, and easy access to the Arizona Falls and the aforementioned canal. So, I've been frequenting this park more often and I'm so grateful it exists! Note: If you do intend to play pickleball, there are some rules for rotating it in to keep it fair for everyone... If you're seeking more of a playground park for kids to play, Arcadia Park is a super quick walk across Indian School as well.

Ballers tend to flock…read morewhere courts are safe/clean and well-maintained, and an added bonus where you can reserve them. There's lots of other activities spots too - baseball/softball fields, open fields for grass volleyball/football, basketball courts, playground, and walking paths. But I only care about the beach courts. The City of Scottsdale is routinely known for all the above with SRP courts- which is why they are always in high demand. #FirstWorldProblem There are 6 doubles courts with provided lines, lights, and ramadas with tables in the walkway between Courts 1&2 and Courts 3-6. Seriously, they know what they're doing here. A couple of years ago I called the Parks office to rent courts for my birthday volleyball tourney and the guy I spoke with indicated that they know they're good. If they aren't reserved, it's truly a toss up whether you can claim a court or not (even during summer). I only wish that other towns/cities could build as good courts in bulk much closer to me so the drive would be better, but a las.. I still end up at SRP weekly.

I found this location to be run efficiently, the courts were clean, there was good space around the baselines and sides (I was able to do an ATP without crashing into the side fence) and the lights are bright. I like that they've painted the ceiling black and this location is quieter than most (sound mitigation?). The membership fee includes all the basics including open play, court reservations tournaments and 4 guest passes per month (good!) Complaints: 1) the open play paddle saddles are weird and encourage crowding 2) some courts face other courts that are playing in the opposite direction (distracting)
