Yes, there are lots of [well used] pickle courts in the public parks as well. And at the other end of the spectrum people have pickle courts in their back yards or tennis courts that can be multi-purposed with additional lines and often a roll on net for pickle (a pickle net is slightly lower than a tennis net). I even saw a crazy house listing online where there was a fancy indoor pickle court.

Public tennis and pickle ball courts are common here, so being expensive isn’t a given for either.

Disclosure: I have now bounced my non-small self off the inside of the glass numerous times, both as part of the fun and in hope of persuading onlookers it might be an elite play of some kind. That glass is tough!

Reminds me how I used to play squash...my rheumatologist told me I had to give it up because I was always crashing into the walls to make a shot. Even with tennis I tend to be a “sacrifice the body” kind of player...not so fun on hard courts!
