Missoula’s Pickleball Revolution: Pickleball players in Missoula can now reserve pickleball courts at Fort Missoula Regional Park, starting April 15. Courts 1-3 will be available for reservations from sunrise to sunset, allowing players to secure a 60-minute game slot up to seven days in advance.
The new system aims to provide a more structured playing experience. While reservations apply only to courts 1-3, courts 4-6 will remain open for walk-up play, ensuring accessibility for all. The reservation period will run through mid-October.
Improved Access for Players
The Fort Missoula Regional Park courts have been cleared and are ready for use. The addition of a reservation system is expected to enhance the overall experience for local players by reducing wait times and ensuring fair access to court time.
Players interested in reserving a court can do so through the official booking system, which operates on an hourly basis. Each reservation is limited to 60 minutes and can be made up to a week in advance.
Community Benefits and Future Plans
The move to allow court reservations reflects the growing popularity of pickleball in Missoula. By keeping some courts available for walk-up play, organizers hope to maintain a balance between structure and spontaneity.
This initiative is part of broader efforts to support the pickleball community and encourage active recreation. Officials will monitor the system’s effectiveness and may consider extending the reservation period if demand remains high.
