Where to Play Pickleball in Etobicoke

Etobicoke Lifestyle & Community Dave Dubbin July 12, 2026

We did sandwiches. We did pools. We did ice cream. Now we're doing the sport you can hear from two blocks away. Pickleball has taken over Etobicoke the same way it's taken over everywhere else, and the good news is the west end now has some of the best places to play in the city. Here's where to go.

Centennial Park: the big one

If you only learn one address, make it 256 Centennial Park Rd. The new West Sports Hub at Centennial Park opened in 2026 as part of the park's revitalization, and it's one of the largest public pickleball setups in Toronto. Twelve dedicated outdoor courts, permanent nets, proper white lines, chain link fencing, and overhead LED lighting for evening games. Drop-in play is free when the courts aren't reserved for a permit or event.

A few practical notes from people who've been. It's a big park, so head for the West Sports Hub, not the soccer field side to the east. Parking lots on site are free. And the usual park etiquette applies: if people are waiting, rotate in and out.

Park courts with pickleball lines

The City has painted pickleball lines on a number of Etobicoke tennis courts. You'll play over a tennis net at most of them, which is a bit taller than a true pickleball net, but plenty of players don't mind. A few worth knowing:

Buttonwood Park (30 Mulham Pl): three lit courts on tennis lines. Free to drop in when open, and you can also book a one hour block online through the City.
Albion Gardens Park (41 Deanlea Ct): three layouts on shared lit tennis courts in the north end.
Valleyfield Park: five courts with permanent lines. Bring your own net.
Sir Adam Beck Park, Prince of Wales Park, and Jeff Healey Park also have painted lines. The Etobicoke Pickleball Association keeps a running list of every outdoor location, and it's the most current source we've found.

Indoor options for the other six months

This is Canada, so the outdoor season has limits. Fairgrounds, the indoor pickleball and racquet club at Cloverdale Mall, has become the anchor for winter play in central Etobicoke, with exclusive programming for Etobicoke Pickleball Association members. If you read our piece on the Cloverdale Mall redevelopment, this is part of that story.

The Etobicoke Olympium also has indoor courts with permanent nets and lines, and the City runs drop-in pickleball at community centres around the west end. Schedules move around, so check the drop-in listings on toronto.ca for the location nearest you. The Queensway Badminton Club, a private club, has six courts with portable nets if you want a membership style setup.

The Etobicoke Pickleball Association

If you're going to play regularly, join the EPA. It's the local association that advocates with the City for more courts (the Centennial hub didn't happen by accident), and members get access to leagues, tournaments, drop-in sessions, and training. Registration runs through an online portal called CourtReserve, and questions go to [email protected]. For the price of a membership you get an instant social circle that swings paddles.

One more thing

We hear it from clients all the time now: proximity to courts has quietly become a real factor in where people want to live. Centennial Park sits right beside Markland Wood and Eringate, Buttonwood is near the Humber Valley, and the lakeshore parks serve Mimico, New Toronto, and Long Branch. If you're weighing a move within Etobicoke and want to know what living near any of these actually looks like, our neighbourhood guides are a good place to start, or just get in touch. And if you want more local guides like this one, our monthly newsletter is free.

See you on the courts. We'll be the ones arguing about kitchen violations.
