Phoenix, Arizona receives about 3,870 hours of sunlight each year, making it the second-sunniest city in the world next to neighboring Yuma. But soon, pickleball players will likely clock more cumulative hours of play within city limits.

As of August 2022, there were 23 indoor and 38 outdoor public pickleball courts in Phoenix for a grand total of 61, a number that's likely already outdated.

Rather than list all of those, we figured we'd spotlight a few of the city's most accessible, dedicated pickleball courts and provide everything you need to know about each.
