Territory’s first dedicated Pickleball courts at the Waterfront
14 August 2025
The Darwin Waterfront is dill-ighted to announce the opening of the Northern Territory’s very first dedicated Pickleball Courts.
Located in close proximity to Fort Hill Parklands and nestled beside Goyder Park, the new courts are free to use and add another exciting reason to visit the Waterfront.
Darwin Waterfront employee and keen Pickler Aaron Dunn said he couldn’t wait to pick up a paddle and rally with fellow fans.
“We’re thrilled to bring Pickleball to the Waterfront,” Mr Dunn said.
“It’s such a fun, social game and now locals and visitors alike have a beautiful spot to play, whether they’re seasoned picklers or trying it for the first time.”
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in Australia, combining elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis into a fast-paced, easy-to-learn game suitable for all ages.
Whether you're playing a friendly match, enjoying a day out with mates, or just curious about the sport everyone’s talking about, the Darwin Waterfront is the perfect place to dink, drive, and smash your way through the day.
The Pickleball courts do not require bookings.
