Pickleball Courts in Cincinnati, OH
Cincinnati treats pickleball with unusual seriousness for a Midwestern city. Sawyer Point on the downtown riverfront opened 18 dedicated courts in September 2022, the largest single-location stack in the region, and Cincinnati Parks now positions it as the city's pickleball anchor. Indoor capacity has caught up too: The Pickle Lodge runs 17 courts in West Chester plus a newer Lunken Landing build, and the PPA Tour stops at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason each September.
