Outside courts
It can be difficult to find beginner pickleball outside in the summer if you are truly brand new to the sport. When the outside courts get busy, there will probably be a paddle line, which is not always divided by skill level.
If you would prefer to set up your own session and have your own net, you can bring your own friends to a court — but understand that many of these are un-reservable so you may have to move if other players come to the courts. Some parks that have marked tennis courts or public pickleball courts include:
- Manitou Park (Boise).
- Settlers Park (Meridian).
- Hobble Creek Park (Boise).
- East Junior High (Boise).
- Midway Park (Nampa).
- Orah Brandt Park (Nampa).
- Lions Park (Nampa).
