Where Medina Players Get on Court

• A.I. Root Middle School
  333 W. Sturbridge Drive, Medina, OH 44256
  Six outdoor pickleball courts were built here through a partnership between Medina City Schools and the City of Medina. The courts are available for public use without reservations. School physical education classes and other school activities have priority during the school day, so daytime access can be limited when school is in session. These are public courts rather than a guaranteed organized drop-in session, so a player arriving alone should not assume a rotation will be running. A.I. Root court information

In Medina and Looking for a Game?

Medina Community Recreation Center is another option for indoor play, especially when the current Field House calendar includes pickleball. A daily pass is available to nonmembers. Check the current recreation center calendar before choosing a session.

If you already have partners and want to play outdoors, use the six courts at A.I. Root Middle School. For guaranteed indoor court time with your own group, reserve a court at The Courts of York. A.I. Root should not be treated as a guaranteed solo-player rotation because public court access and organized open play are not the same thing.
