4. Court Rules & Restrictions
To maintain the quality and safety of our courts, the following are strictly prohibited on all pickleball courts including but not limited to:

• Chairs, tables, or furniture of any kind

• Bicycles, scooters, skateboards, or other wheeled items

• Hard-soled shoes, cleats, or any non-court-appropriate footwear

• Glass containers

• Chewing gum or sticky substances

• Pets or animals (except certified service animals)

• Food or drink (except water in closed bottles)
• Any item not commonly found on professional pickleball courts (e.g., PPA or USA Pickleball–sanctioned facilities), including personal décor, heavy objects, tripods, or any item that may pose a safety risk, obstruct play, or damage the court surface. Picklers Park maintains its courts to professional standards, and all items on court must meet basic health, safety, and facility protection guidelines.
• Do not attach, tape, tie, or hang any items (including signs, banners, decorations, or tape) to nets, posts, or fences. Adhesives, cable ties, or fasteners can damage surfaces and interfere with court play. Only authorised staff may install signage or temporary materials.

Players must wear non-marking court shoes at all times. Please help us protect the playing surface and ensure a positive experience for all.

If courts are busy, limit play to one game or 20 minutes, then rotate with waiting players.

5. Court Rotation & Fair Play Rules:
To ensure fair access and smooth rotation when courts are busy:

• If 4 paddles are waiting, all 4 players on court must rotate off after their game.

• If 2 paddles are waiting, winners stay on, losers rotate off.

• If all courts are occupied, singles games are not permitted (doubles only).

• No double-stacking: You may only queue (place your paddle) for one court at a time. Placing your paddle in multiple queues is not allowed.

Please respect paddle queues and rotate in a timely and courteous manner.
