Grab your paddle A guide to free pickleball courts in Rhode Island

Pickleball, invented in 1965, has become the fastest-growing sport in the U. S. , with Rhode Island witnessing a notable increase in its popularity. The Providence Journal compiled a comprehensive list of over 20 free public pickleball courts statewide, aiming to make the sport accessible to all. Courts in various towns, including Barrington and Cranston, offer both permanent and portable nets.

Players can enjoy the game without the burden of costly memberships at private clubs. Notably, many courts feature permanent lines, while others may require players to bring their own nets. The state’s investment in new public and private courts reflects the growing interest in the sport. This initiative fosters community engagement and promotes physical activity.
