Lilac Pickleball Courts

This new 24 court facility opened in Jan 2024 is a Mecca for pickleball lovers in North Palm Beach County. The best part is the layout. There is ample room on the sidelines so there is both physical and mental space between your own court and neighboring courts. They also have large umbrella and ample seating throughout the center of the property that give it a signature look. The fencing is a bit low for wind purposes. I think higher fences at least 8 ft would be minimum but local zoning allows on 6 feet on side max. This site has 4 ft. It’s also next to I-95 so you have highway buzz similar to Caloosa park in Boynton beach. They also lack gates with fence dividers between courts so you will get more interruption from errant balls than usual because of this design flaw. Prices are steep for non residents ($15 per day)but you may buy seasonal passes if you are a frequent player. Big discounts for local residents. Parking on side of facility and front. You will have to walk around to check in desk and you will see “no fence jumping” signs throughout. There is a lake next to courts so bring bug repellent just in case. Water stations by club house and inside courts. I went on Saturday night in June but the place was nearly empty (3 courts of action). They have staggered hours in morning and evening play. Like most public parks they frown upon instructors. So bring your First Amendment but leave your ball hopper at home.

These are lively, clean, and well-appointed pickleball courts. Lilac is walk-in play with no court reservations. It can be very crowded, but we have always found an open court. We do not have an annual membership, but the daily fees for Palm Beach Gardens residents are very reasonable!

Friendly, welcoming and really well maintained. As a new player I found it to be the perfect place to get into the game. Great courts, great people. And I got vaguely good at the game before coming home.
