Posse Grounds Park pickleball courts

Eight free courts with red-rock views.

Sedona’s first dedicated pickleball courts, eight of them built on an old softball field at Posse Grounds Park and opened in October 2024. They’re free and first come, first served, with dark-sky lights on timers for evening games and a city open-play program for finding a match. Bring a paddle on a hiking trip and play between trailheads.
