Pickleball

Enjoy pickleball at the LVR courts

Join the fun and play pickleball, North America’s fastest-growing sport, on four dedicated courts located above LVR School.

Season pass fees, collected by the Nelson Tennis Club, support the resurfacing and maintenance of the courts. Please note that purchasing a season pass does not include membership in either the tennis or pickleball clubs. Pickleball activities are organized and managed by a dedicated group of volunteer players.

**NEW for 2025** All pickleball players (excluding combo players) must first join Pickleball Canada/BC (cost, just over $16) BEFORE buying a season’s pass for the LVR courts. Click here to get your membership

A note from Nelson Pickleball Club, Summer Committee:

At LVR, you must pay a summer fee of $75, or you can pay $5 a day. Either way, to play on the courts you must be a member of Pickleball Canada. We will designate a time each day for group play by level, as we did last year. As well, you can book courts for play with other members.

Please note that you will not be able to get into the reservation systems unless you have paid your summer fee. But the big change here this year is that all players MUST be a member of Pickleball Canada/Pickleball BC. We need to do that to purchase insurance. When you buy the Pickleball Canada/BC membership, please indicate Nelson Pickleball Club as your club, as that will be checked.

If you do not have this membership, you will not be able to use the courts. You can join or renew your membership at https://pickleballcanada.org/membership/join-renew/.

Other advantages in having this membership is you can enter sanctioned tournaments anywhere in Canada. Also you will have some medical insurance if you injure yourself playing pickleball at these courts. See https://pickleballcanada.org/membership/membership-benefits/

At LVR we share the courts with the School District – they get priority during class time and we get priority at all other times. Therefore on some days, regular scheduling may not be available. Please check the availability on the court booking system. See reservations below.

We are looking forward to a summer of wonderful (injury free) Pickleball outdoors!

Thanks,

Nelson Pickleball ClubSummer Committee,
