Pickleball Courts in Zurich, CH

Zurich is the headquarters of the Swiss Pickleball Association, and the city has gone from almost no infrastructure in 2022 to a real circuit in three years. Pickleball Club Küsnacht Zumikon (founded 2019) was an early anchor. Pickleball-Club Zürich arrived in spring 2024 and now plays year-round between Altstetten and the Hardhof rollhockey court. In summer 2025 the Sportzentrum Heuried added three outdoor courts that anyone can use with a pool ticket. Each winter, Messe Zürich becomes an indoor pop-up with eight courts.
