Sawyer Point Facility Photo

Located on the Ohio River, the city of Cincinnati boasts one of the most picturesque pickleball facilities. The Pickleball at Sawyer Point club was made-over a former tennis-only facility operated by Cincinnati Parks. The upgraded facility features 18 dedicated pickleball courts, set to accommodate growing interest in the sport over the years. Three tennis courts remain, but each has pickleball court markings overlaid, for easy conversion into six additional, temporary pickleball courts. 24 total available for special events, such as the Association of Pickleball Professionals tournament in May.
