Pickleball, tennis, and bike polo are currently experiencing significant participation increases in Asheville and have ardent supporters advocating for their respective sport. In order to support both racquet sports, all public outdoor hard surface tennis courts in the Asheville Parks & Recreation (APR) are dual-lined shared use courts supporting tennis and pickleball.

No Net? No Problem!
