Indoor Pickleball in Grand Junction
Indoor pickleball at Bookcliff Activity Center runs during the cold months, generally from November into March, and ends when the outdoor season returns. The city notes that the schedule can shift with the weather, so check the city pickleball page before you go. Drop-in sessions are grouped by skill level, with a general session for a wide range of players and a separate session for stronger players.
Players pay a drop-in fee or use a punch pass. Passes are sold on site or at the city recreation office and are transferable.
