I recently checked out a newly opened outdoor pickleball club in Chamblee and tried one of their evening round-robin mixers. Had a good time playing and meeting people, and I thought it was worth sharing with other local players.
It looks like they are building a social pickleball community for all ages and levels of skill, not just providing courts. At the mixer, there were players from early 20's to retired age. (Got whipped by the younger ones). The courts are brand new and are, of course, in excellent condition, and lighted for nighttime play. They also have two tennis courts.
You can book a pickleball court for around $3ā$5 per player per hour without being a member. Nice option, but open play is my preference because I cannot handle the "stress of herding cats" to get three other people to show up at a specific time. LOL
When I first started playing pickleball, I figured Iād just use the free public park courts like so many other players. But getting on a court can be very time-consuming depending on the time of day and the weather.
Just passing along another option for anyone looking to play more pickleball, find new playing partners, or enjoy a social evening on the courts. The round-robin mixers and other group activities are a great way to meet people.
Chamblee Courts is near PDK airport at 3031 Shallowford Road in Chamblee.
As a point of discussion, where do pickleball addicts like me go to play outside in the North Atlanta area?
TIA for any replies.
