We offer options for 1, 1.5 and 2 hour rentals.

You may have up to 8 players for a court rental.

For all play and rentals, we will provide the court and the net. Paddles and balls are not included and may be added for $10 for the court for the hour.

We keep a close eye on the weather and the condition of our outdoor courts. We also have tools to dry the courts after it rains. When possible we’ll notify you 1-2 hours in advance if we are canceling your rental due to weather. There are some times we have to cancel on site due to unexpected conditions. If we feel the courts will be safe to play on by your rental time you won’t hear from us and you can assume it’s game on! 

If your rental is canceled due to a rainout, you will not be charged for your rental.

Your rental guarantees your time on the court. Your court will be set up with a net. A Grab A Game / Big City Pickle / Chicago Sport and Social Club representative will ensure your court is accessible at your rental time and the courts are safe to play on. Up to 4 pickleball paddles and balls can be added to your rental for $10 per hour.

You may book a rental court up to 2 weeks in advance. For special events, multiple court rentals can book earlier by calling (312) 850-8177 or by filling our inquiry form at www.chicagocitypickle.com/event-inquiry.
