Pickleball has been America’s fastest-growing sport for multiple years straight, rivaling tennis, golf and more traditional sports. The boom can largely be explained by the lower barrier to entry, for example, as a result of a slower ball, smaller court size and fewer stroke types. It also happens to be incredibly fun (and social) while doubling as a great workout, so it’s no wonder this cross between tennis, badminton and ping-pong has exploded across the country. In fact, cities have been racing to build more courts amid zoning battles to keep up with the unprecedented demand. But not to worry—these eight pickleball courts in Miami are still available for play while we patiently await more. Note: Most of these courts are free to play, and some are mixed-use and some are dedicated to pickleball only.
