Daily Winter Schedule

All reservations and drop-in play are for a 1.5-hour session except on Sundays when Drop-in is 12-6 p.m.

Daily Summer Schedule At Golden Peak Pickleball Center (subject to change)

*Visit our online registration page to sign up for Special Events & Clinics such as Challenge the Pros, Intro to Pickleball, Ladies Social, Skills & Drills, etc.

Open Play will be split into the following two sections:
1. 8-10 a.m. Open Play (all levels welcome and mixed together)
2. 10 a.m.-noon Level Open Play:

• High Intermediate to Advanced (3.5 and up)
• Low to Medium Intermediate (2.5-3.0)
• Beginner (1.0-2.0) - If you have NEVER played pickleball before, we recommend taking a lesson prior to playing Open Play as it is important to learn the rules and basic strategy. Email pickleball@vailrec.com for info on Intro to Pickleball class offerings. 

Players will be encouraged to enter their designated court via the specific court gates. Signage will be posted to help guide and direct players. Please do not walk across a game that is in progress.

Paddle Saddles will be utilized to organize each foursome by level. If you would like to keep your foursome together, you will be able to do this by moving to the back of the line and staying together as a group while moving to the front together. You may need to wait out one extra game to keep your group together. If there are one or two players extra beyond your foursome at your level, staying together as a foursome might not be possible. Check with the court monitor if you are unsure.

A staff court monitor will be available to help manage groups, when needed.

The best place to park during the outdoor season is at the east end of the Vail Village Parking Structure, which is less than a five minute walk to Golden Peak.

There are only eight designated, painted parking spots at the Golden Peak Pickleball Center. If the eight spots are taken when you arrive to play, please park in the Vail Village Parking Structure - the walk from the structure to the courts is only a few minutes; view a parking-to-courts map here if you are not familiar with area.

We ask that when arriving to the courts, participants and spectators do not park on the grass or in any undesignated spot. If players have parked illegally, they will not be allowed to play pickleball that day. We thank you for your cooperation in helping us ensure that the parking lot remains safe and our grass remains undamaged.
 

Under no circumstances is parking permitted in the neighboring lots of the Golden Peak Pickleball Center (for example, Texas Townhomes). The Golden Peak Pickleball Center is not responsible if cars are ticketed or booted if they are parked in neighboring parking lots.

Leashed dogs are welcome and must be tethered to one of the trees in the upper grass area (above the bleachers). Dogs are not allowed within the facility walkways/sidewalks and are also not allowed tied to the perimeter of the courts. If your tethered dog is barking while you are playing, please remove your dog so as not to disturb our players. Thank you for understanding and helping to make our facility welcome for all.
