Richmond has a growing pickleball scene with 27+ court locations and over 100 courts spread across city parks, county recreation centers, and dedicated indoor facilities. The metro area stretches into Henrico and Chesterfield counties, where most of the major complexes are located. Virginia’s mild climate keeps outdoor play going roughly nine months out of the year.
