Latest N. Phoenix Pickleball News – December 6, 2019
Hello North Phoenix Pickleball Players:
City of Phoenix Community Centers
********** Gyms Closing for December **********
As I stated in my previous post, December is an “awkward” month for indoor pickleball in the Valley because of holiday events, maintenance schedules and other location-based activities.
The Community Centers often have staff events, meetings, etc. during this time of the year. In addition special events are often provided for students that have a winter recess from their schools.
Paradise Valley Community Center
Monday, December 9th – THERE WILL BE PICKLEBALL as usual. The center has a special event in the evening; sorry for any confusion.
Closed for Pickleball as Follows:
Wednesday, December 11th – NE Division Holiday Party
December 23, 2019 through January 3, 2020
NOTE: We can probably surmise that this will be similar for all City of Phoenix Community Centers, however…
My best advice is to check with your preferred indoor venue during the upcoming weeks to avoid disappointment. This may be an opportunity for outside play for those of use who generally play at our indoor courts!
You can check “More Places to Play” for some aoutdoor courts in and around North Phoenix!
Family Life Center 2019-2020 Holiday Hours
********** Gym Closing for December **********
NOTE – I was told that there WILL BE PICKLEBALL on Tuesday, December 24th, but the hours will be shortened to accommodate the schedule above.
G.R. Herberger Park
********** Open for Pickleball **********
Pickleball Courts at G.R. Herberger Park

From the USAPA Paces to Play Website:
“The City of Phoenix opened 4 permanent outdoor pickleball courts at this location on 11/27/19. The park is open 5:30am – 10pm, 365 days a year and is free to the public. Two tennis courts were converted to 4 fully painted pickleball courts with permanent nets and lights. There are restrooms in the park as well as 2 remaining lighted tennis courts, lighted sand volleyball, and a play field. The park is located on the north side of Indian School Rd. next to the canal and multi-use bicycle path. The viewpoint for The Arizona Falls is accessed from the west end of the parking lot.”
For Those Who Have Read This Far
PRO Mixed Doubles GOLD Medal Match
********** 2019 Franklin Pickleball Masters **********
If the weather and holidays are keeping you from pickleball, why not try the next best thing? Watch pickleball tournament videos!
The match below is between the team of Matt Wright and Lucy Kovalova and Ben Johns and Simone Jardim. These are four of the perennial finalists in professional pickleball and are among the “stars” in today’s pickleball world. I think you will find the match entertaining and a wonderful showcase for our sport.
BTW – The name of the facility hosting this match is called Chicken ‘N Pickle in Wichita, KS. Pickleball is becoming so popular that even restaurants are now hosting courts. You can check out their website – Chicken ‘N Pickle – Wichita, KS

Anyone who travels can appreciate the availability of a clean and orderly bathroom when one is needed. At the Old Capitol Market in Prescott, AZ we came across a very unique sign indicating the specific genders allowed to use each of their facilities.
BTW – The Old Capitol Market is a fun place to visit and explore if you are in or near Prescott, Arizona
