Before you ask

Things people ask about.

Can we bring our own food, or a caterer?

Outside catering is welcome. We can suggest local suppliers if that's helpful, just let us know your date and numbers.

Can we bring our own drinks?

The centre is fully licensed, so every drink comes from our bar and we keep it flowing for the whole event. No BYO.

Can we bring in our own entertainment?

Yes, we can accommodate almost any entertainer you'd like to bring in. DJs and live bands are common, but we're open to whatever you have in mind.

Is there somewhere to do speeches or a presentation?

Yes. Our 52sqm multi-purpose studio has a large screen and projector, a full-length wall mirror and doors opening straight onto the courts. Groups use it for speeches, awards, slideshows and a bit of quiet away from the courts.

The studio is included with full facility hire, and can also be hired on top of the DIY Pickleball Courts or Coach and Court packages. Just let us know when you book.

Does everyone have to know how to play pickleball?

Absolutely not, and that is the fun of it. It takes a few minutes to learn the basics, and roughly the same again before someone starts taking it far too seriously. Book the Coach and Court package and we will run the whole thing.

What if it turns into a scorcher, or buckets down?

Melbourne in December has been known to do both before lunch. We've got plenty of shaded and undercover areas to duck into, plus an air-conditioned indoor space. If the temperature climbs too high or the rain gets heavy enough to make the courts unplayable, we'll reschedule your booking at no charge. See our weather policy for the details.

We have more than 100 people. Can you fit us?

Sure can! Full facility hire hands you the entire centre with your group alone on site.
