Want to play outside of PSPC sessions? Here are some other places to check out.
Also in Port Stephens
Boat Harbour Tennis Club — a fellow Port Stephens club and a great neighbour in the sport, with plenty of crossover in our playing communities.
Medowie Tennis Club — we helped get their pickleball sessions off the ground, including sending coaches and donating equipment. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
Fingal Bay Tennis Club — an independent club PSPC previously ran sessions with. Their courts remain open for public and pickleball hire, booked directly with them.
A bit further afield
Hunter Pickleball — a regional association covering Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, running sessions across multiple venues.
Lake Macquarie Pickleball Club — social sessions at Cooranbong Park Sports Complex, about an hour and a quarter from Nelson Bay.
Pickleballerz — a purpose-built commercial indoor facility in Cardiff, with professional coaching and a strong competitive scene. Casual sessions cost more than club sessions (around $25 for non-members, versus $9 at PSPC or $12 at Hunter) — best suited to higher-level or competitive players; lower-level players may not find the extra cost worthwhile unless being a member and play multiple times per week, and session quality varies with who's playing on the day.
Places to play across NSW and Australia
Below is a list of NSW-affiliated clubs and venues. Please contact the venue host before attending to confirm session details — each venue sets its own way of signing up, and some use a Meetup group rather than an app. Make sure you're booked in before turning up, and note that times may vary during school holidays.
