  • Beginner: Players at this level are new to pickleball and have little to no experience.

About Fairgrounds Public Racquet Club

Fairgrounds is a free-to-join public racket club — built for the way people actually want to play. We’re not anti-club. We just think the old model is outdated. So we kept the good stuff — great courts, strong community, real amenities — and ditched the rest: the rules, the dress codes, the awkward gatekeeping. Whether you’re here to get better, blow off steam, or meet someone new, we make space for it. Play is essential. Let’s make more of it.
