The Florida Keys run more than 100 miles from Key Largo down to Key West, and pickleball has taken hold at the public parks along the way. Monroe County built a big dedicated complex at Key Largo Community Park in the Upper Keys, Islamorada added courts at Founders Park, the City of Marathon lines courts at its Community Park in the Middle Keys, and in Key West you can play right by the ocean at Higgs Beach. Here is where to play, pulled straight from the official city and county parks pages.
Court counts come straight from the official city and county parks pages. Where a page confirms courts but not a number, we say so instead of guessing.
A Monroe County park at 500 St. Croix Place with a dedicated pickleball complex, the largest in the Keys. Free, first come first served, open daily from 7:30 a.m. until sunset. The county page confirms the courts but does not publish a count, so expect a busy, popular spot in the Upper Keys.
3 dedicated courts in the Pickleball Complex at the 45-acre Founders Park, plus 2 more courts lined on the multi-use basketball court. Open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Village residents get in free, and non-residents pay a park entry fee of about $10 for adults.
A combination pickleball and basketball court set up for 3 pickleball courts, right on the Overseas Highway at 200 36th Street Ocean (MM 49). Free to play, open 7 days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with restrooms and parking on site.
A Monroe County oceanside park at 1040 Atlantic Boulevard with public pickleball courts, free and first come first served, open daily from 7:30 a.m. until sunset. The county page confirms courts here but does not publish a count. This is the spot to play in Key West, since Bayview Park in town is set up for tennis.
