3. John Hendry Park (Trout Lake Community Centre)
📍 3360 Victoria Dr, Vancouver, BC
Indoor pickleball is the vibe when Vancouver is doing Vancouver things (i.e. raining). This community-centre-adjacent gem is perfect for low-key legends and high-key rally enthusiasts. There's even an outdoor court when the vitamin D needs topping up.

Memorial Park West is where local legends are born (or at least where they perfect their third-shot drop). With shared-use courts and a chill, family-friendly vibe, it’s ideal for low-stakes competition and high-stakes post-game iced coffee.

Six pickleball courts with more space than your ex gave you emotionally. Great surface, well-maintained and just far enough out of the way to snag a court during peak hours... you're welcome.
6. Pandora Park
📍2325 Franklin St, Vancouver, BC
Six outdoor courts and strong community energy. This East Van hotspot gets competitive (in the best way). The energy here? Underrated. The skill level? Surprisingly elite.
7. Brewers Park Public Tennis & Pickleball Courts
📍4175 Victoria Dr, Vancouver, BC
Four courts and no nonsense. This is where people show up with their own balls, game faces and probably a NILK cap. Friendly but fierce (you've been warned.. !)
