Aloha!
So you’ve made it to Oahu with your pickleball paddle and shoes on ready to join a game, now where to play? If you’re staying in Waikiki popular courts to look up would be Diamond Head Park or Fort DeRussy. Check our locations tab to see how close (or far) you are from these courts. If you rented a car, consider trekking out west to Ewa Mahiko Park for a challenge court or Keehi Lagoons for 3.5+ DUPR plays. While it’s usually sunny, we do get our “Hawaiian Snow” AKA rainy season during the winter. If it’s pouring try heading over to the only covered open play pickleball courts at Pickles at Forte in the middle of Downtown Honolulu.
