The Atlanta pickleball craze offers families an awesome and healthy way to interact. Often compared to a combination of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, this relatively new sport is easy to learn and only requires a paddle and ball. Plus, it's great for kids! Pickleball develops hand-eye coordination; uses math and memory for scoring; encourages sportsmanship; and facilitates social interaction. The equipment is inexpensive (often provided at facilities) and there’s not a huge time commitment as games run 15-30 minutes.

Atlanta families can play pickleball at indoor and outdoor courts. We’ve rounded up the best places to play, from public parks with nearby playgrounds and pools to pickleball clubs with indoor courts, shuffleboard, and restaurants.
