What makes us different?

Many Pickleball facilities can feel overwhelming due to their size and competitive environment.

At Pavones Pickleball, we sure are competitive, but we encourage good sportsmanship, fair play, patience, tolerance and an underlying supportive environment for players to improve at their own pace.

While we love to have fun, we are a no-alcohol, no-drugs facility and ask that you do not come to play under the influence.

In tourist towns, it is often difficult to find a place to come together, that offers good, clean fun!
