Play – Where and How to Play
Wixon is our primary pickleball venue. Outside of monitored play sessions during the season — and throughout the rest of the year — the courts operate as public courts. If the courts are dry, you’ll almost always find games you can rotate into. Just place your paddle in the fence until you have a foursome, then head onto the court. Self-organized groups will also find that open courts are usually available.
For additional options, Seaview Park and Johnny Kelley Park offer public pickleball courts that are open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. These locations are not part of the monitored play program. (add local map that shows courts)
- Wixon Courts: 145 Old Chatham Rd, South Dennis
- Seaview Park: 2 Seaview St, Dennis Port
- Johnny Kelley Park: 180 Old Bass River Rd, South Dennis
Many players rely on TeamReach to arrange games and assess conditions. Use code DennisPB01.
The Wixon Courts have two accessible courts, nearby handicapped parking, and level access. Players with mobility considerations are welcome.
