Pickleball is catching on in Omaha, and I’ve been casually getting into the game myself. It’s a fun way to stay active and connect with friends and family—without needing pro-level skills to enjoy it. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for new courts around Omaha, I’ve pulled together a list of places to play—from casual parks to full-on clubs. Let’s get into it!
City Parks – Free & Fun
These public courts are open to all and perfect for a casual game with friends or family. Most are first-come, first-serve, so pack your gear and maybe a snack or two.
- Bemis Park – Bring your own net, but it’s a peaceful neighborhood spot to practice your dinks.
