Pickleball

Are there any public pickleball courts in South Haven?

Yes, South Haven has several public options for playing pickleball, which has grown in popularity over recent years. Both outdoor and indoor courts are available depending on the season.

Public outdoor pickleball courts in South Haven:

  • South Haven Middle School Courts: Located near the school campus, these courts are open to the public when school activities are not scheduled. They are typically lined for both tennis and pickleball.
  • South Beach Recreation Area: Some of the tennis courts at the South Beach area are striped for pickleball during the summer season. This provides a scenic outdoor location close to the waterfront.
  • Paw Paw Lake Park / Local Parks: Occasionally, community parks in the South Haven area will have multipurpose courts that can be used for pickleball. It’s recommended to check with the city’s parks and recreation department for the most up-to-date locations and times.

Indoor options:

  • South Haven Community Center / YMCA: During colder months, indoor gyms may allow pickleball play. These often require registration or a day pass for access, and they may have scheduled times for public play.

Additional tips:

  • Bring your own paddles and balls, as some public courts may not provide equipment.
  • Check the South Haven Parks & Recreation website or local Facebook groups for community pickleball meetups, drop-in sessions, or scheduled times for organized play.
  • Arrive early if courts are busy during peak summer or weekend hours, as outdoor public courts can fill quickly.

Overall, South Haven offers a mix of public and semi-public courts suitable for casual or regular pickleball play, with options available year-round if you consider indoor facilities.
