Visiting Canmore & want to play pickleball?

1. Due to very limited indoor venue availability, BVPA offers no indoor drop-in play for non-members.

    2. If you would like to play outdoors in season, our BVPA Guest Player Policy states that visitors (ages 18+) are welcome to join the play at their appropriate skill level as long as there is room in the event.

    We are organized by skill levels: Novice (2.5), Intermediate (3.0) and Advanced (3.5+). See QUICK Links on this webpage to see our Outdoor Play Schedule and location of play (Veterans or Larch)

    There is no online means for visitors to determine whether a given session has available spots. Instead, we ask visitors to come to the courts as per the Outdoor Play Schedule (see the Quick Links for the current month schedule) and if there is availability, you will gladly be welcomed to play with the BVPA members. Please choose the proper session for your realistic level of play and arrive at least 15 minutes early.

    There is a $10.00 fee per session to be paid in cash to the Session Captain. A liability waiver also needs to be read and signed prior to the start of play. Visiting players need to bring their own paddles.

    2. If you expect to play several times (outdoor and/or indoor) and you want to be able to sign-up for sessions, join the Bow Valley Pickleball Association and become a member. 2025 memberships are now on sale for $100. Membership includes all regularly scheduled 2025 outdoor play. Indoor play is scheduled on a cost recovery basis with pre-purchased "tickets".

    3. If you have your own playing group, paddles and balls (with/without your own net).

      Outdoor - Veterans Park (bring your own net) or Larch multi-purpose rink (permanent net in place). If the courts are not being used by players with a reservation you may play for free on a first-come, first-serve basis. Free use is limited to 45 minutes (from the time you start) when other drop-in players are waiting. Players with a reservation have priority over drop-in players. Reserve Veterans through the Canmore Tennis Association website. For Larch, see the Town of Canmore website.

      Indoor - Canmore Recreation Centre Room 200. Reserve through the Town of Canmore website. Paddles, net, balls provided.
