URGENT UPDATE: Gilbert Regional Park is set to host a series of pickleball tournaments, leading to temporary court closures that local players must note. Starting with the AZIAPL Private Tournament, courts 1-8 will be closed for regular play from the afternoon of November 1 until 8:00 PM on November 2. This is just the beginning of a busy tournament season for the Gilbert community.
Players should mark their calendars for the evening of November 25, when courts will again be exclusively dedicated to tournament play for high school athletes. The excitement continues during the holiday season with the “Pickleball is Great Holiday Classic,” scheduled from December 26 to 28.
As the New Year approaches, pickleball enthusiasts will need to wait until after the “More Bang for the Buck Tournament” in early January to return to regular play. The schedule wraps up with the “2026 Winter Classic Tournament,” taking over the courts from February 20-22. Once each tournament concludes, the courts will reopen, providing opportunities for the community to engage in this popular sport.
During tournament days, courts are expected to reach capacity quickly, operating on a first-come, first-served basis. Players are encouraged to utilize a court rotation system if the courts are full. For those unable to secure a spot, nearby Arbuckle Park and Arrowhead Meadows Park offer alternative options for play.
