Outdoor and Indoor Options

• Firestone Park
  338 E. Park Avenue, Columbiana, OH 44408
  Firestone Park is the main public outdoor pickleball location in town. The sports-court renovation created three pickleball courts along with new tennis and basketball courts, fencing, drainage, and connecting walkways. The park also has restrooms, parking, trails, picnic areas, and other recreation facilities. A fixed city-run open play schedule is not published, so the courts are dependable for arranging your own game without guaranteeing a group will be waiting. See Firestone Park information.
• Athletix
  613 State Route 7, Columbiana, OH 44408
  Athletix is a large indoor sports facility with a fieldhouse that can be configured for pickleball. Players can book indoor court time, and the facility has offered seasonal Weekday Morning Pickleball. The current registration period for that morning program is closed, so use Athletix primarily for reserved indoor play until another session opens. See Athletix pickleball and court information.
