If you like country living away from the city noise, then come to Sunscape RV Resort outside of Casa Grande, AZ. Have three pickle ball courts. Cheapest monthly rent in the area, or so I have been told by others. I workamp at Sunscape so you can PM me if you have any questions.

Happy Trails resort is in surprise on Bell road at the 303, and has 8 courts 4-500 or something players. There are inter community leagues and public courts that are free down at the city hall .You can rent a rv lot with pad for 5-600 a month all included. Or we have a Arizona room , washer dryer, shower, toilet and bedroom beside the rv for 700 everything included. Happy trails is where pickleball in AZ was born and has a good depth of players at every level. If you want more info pm or email me and I can make some suggestions.

Thanks canadi-anne and Telemarc Telemarc you have obviously played in Campbell River, yes we want to get better so we are looking for a park where we can play at a higher level, we are also trying to get the best deal for our falling dollar. We have a Thousand Trails membership so get a deal at Encore parks (Festa Grand) and the Cal-Am parks have a great special for first time users. We don't know anything about parks in Surprize so please give us some ideas. Thanks for the input.

If you are content to play 3.5 Rec pickleball then any park that has courts is going to work for you. If you want to up your game and improve beyond the Campbell River bang game (LOL)
then Palm Creek is the best spot in Casa.G. Or come up to Surprise. In Surprise or C.G. the play goes right up to competitive 5.0 so there is lots of room to grow. Something for everyone.
Lots of us islanders in Surprise . Our park has players from Victoria to Comox.

Palm Creek RV in Casa Grande has 32 pickleball courts and has a huge emphasis on pickleball. It would be your best bet, there is everything from 2.0 to 5.0. They held the National Pickleball tournament last month.
