Pima County rate (2026). Split four ways, that’s about $2.50 each.
20 lighted competition courts for $10 an hour.
Pima County’s pickleball venue on Tucson’s south side, with 20 lighted, competition-style courts, spectator seating, a picnic promenade and room for food trucks. Every court is reserved online, up to two weeks ahead, so a court is waiting when you arrive. It hosts PPA Challenger and USA Pickleball qualifying events, and suits a group that wants guaranteed court time more than a pick-up scene.
