Pickleball has quickly become one of the most popular leisure sports for BC residents. Our real estate agents first tried it a few years ago, and several of them still play regularly today. If you think you'd like to join them, there's plenty of room on Victoria's courts. Check out the locations listed below to find a place to play.

• Carnarvon Park - 2801 Henderson Road, Victoria, BC V8R 3C2 
  Carnarvon Park is a sports park near our Oak Bay homes for sale with four public pickleball courts inside its lacrosse box. Be warned, though: from April to September, you'll have to pay to reserve a time slot if you want to be sure you'll get to play at a specific time. You're also welcome to play for free at any time when the court is not in use. Check the online reservation schedule before you begin so you can complete your game before the next person with a reservation arrives.

• Tolmie Park – 927 Leslie Drive, Saanich, BC V8X 2Y5 
  Tolmie Park has two dedicated outdoor pickleball courts on its grounds near these Saanich homes for sale. They're free to use and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Payers are asked to limit sessions to one round when others are waiting and play doubles when they can to maximize the number of people who can use them at once. The courts are also closed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, so make sure you plan your visit accordingly.

Booking a drop-in slot costs $6.50 per adult, $5 per senior, and $3.50 per child under 18. Renting the full court costs $30 and buys you two hours of playtime.  
  
  
• Victoria Pickleball Centre - 2950 West Shore Parkway, Victoria, BC V9B 0B2 
  The Victoria Pickleball Centre has six indoor pickleball courts that operate year-round. They offer court access every day of the week for $10 an hour per person, with 12- and 48-hour passes available at discounted rates. If you want to play more than the occasional game, consider joining one of their regular drop-in sessions. Each session includes six weeks of playtime during a specific time slot for just $20.
