Swimply Launches Private Pickleball Court Rentals

Jan 29, 2026

If you've ever wanted to play pickleball but couldn't find a court, Swimply's got your back. You can now book private pickleball courts by the hour through Swimply, just like with pools. It's quick and easy, and you'll skip the wait and the crowds. You'll also save money compared to pricey clubs.

Right now, Swimply already lists over 300 courts in cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and Austin. The demand for pickleball is huge, and Swimply makes it way easier to find a spot to play.

We're rolling out new spaces beyond just pools with Swimply Spaces. That means sports courts like pickleball, basketball, and tennis are available. You can even book backyards, event spaces, and whole homes. You'll still book by the hour, get your own private access, and use the secure payments you already trust.

Why Pickleball Court Rentals Make Sense on Swimply

Swimply has cracked the code for renting private pools. Now, we're taking what we've learned and helping homeowners share underused pickleball courts. If you've got a court that usually sits empty, you can make money renting it out.

Finding court time at public parks gets tricky fast, and club fees can get pretty steep. With Swimply, anyone can list their court for free and open up slots to local players. Guests just search their location and grab the court time they want.

  • Court rentals start at $25 an hour. The average price is $40 an hour, which is a steal compared to clubs.
  • Privacy is huge. That means no crowds, no strangers, just you and your friends.
  • Hosts keep 70-85% of the booking price. Payouts go directly through Stripe after each booking.

Say you charge $50 an hour and someone books for two hours. You'd make $85 after fees. You set your own price, your hours, and your house rules.

  • Listing your court is free.
  • Swimply gives every host up to $1,000,000 in liability protection and $10,000 for property damage.
  • If things ever go sideways during a booking, you know we have your back.

How to Find Pickleball Courts Nearby

Want to find a court fast? Try these simple steps:

  • Open the Swimply app or go to swimply.com/pickleball.
  • Type in your address or where you want to play.
  • Filter options by date, time, amenities, and group size.

Swimply is already in 150+ cities across the US, Canada, and Australia. Courts get added every day, so check back if you don't see one right now.

Each listing shows you exactly what you'll get: clear photos, a full list of amenities, and the house rules. Some courts offer perks like bathrooms, seating, or equipment. Some are just simple courts where you bring your own paddle. Always check the amenities section. Look for add-ons if you want to level up your experience.

Booking is easy. Pick your date and time and hit Book Now. Instant Book listings confirm right away. For others, the host will reply within 24 hours. You're only charged once it's confirmed. Once it goes through, you'll get the address and entry details, too.

Pay attention to guest limits. Some courts work for small groups, others are set up for bigger events. You'll always see group size max listed. Some hosts let you bring more friends for an extra fee.

More Than Pickleball: Get Access to Tennis, Basketball, and More

Pickleball's just the beginning. You can also rent tennis courts, basketball courts, or even whole backyards for your next event. Every rental works the same. Hosts put up their court or space, and guests book by the hour. Private access every time.

  • Tennis courts are perfect if you want privacy without club prices.
  • Rent basketball courts for a family game, practice, or a weekend tournament.
  • Dedicated icons in the app let you find exactly what you're looking for.

Your experience stays smooth. All hosts are verified. Payments are secure. Your booking is protected every step of the way.

Swimply Spaces brings it all together. It's a marketplace for sharing private spaces, from sports courts to backyards to even pools and gyms. Any space you aren't using could be making you money.
