Pickleball Courts in Memphis, TN

Memphis pickleball lives mostly in the suburbs. The city's first dedicated indoor facility, Bluff City Pickleball, opened in March 2024 inside a converted Malco movie theater in Bartlett, with eight courts named after films. Pickleball Kingdom followed in September 2025 with a 17-court Germantown build on Riverdale Road. Outdoors, Cameron Brown Park's eight free lighted courts and the Memphis JCC's eight-court complex carry most of the open play. Downtown options remain thin: Tom Lee Park has two lined courts and no net.
