The cabanas are a great place to take a breather in the shade or enjoy some of our top-notch food!
There are two different types of cabanas at Wollman Rink:
1. Court Cabanas - There are six Court Cabanas; one each adjacent to Court 6, Court 10, Court 11, Court 12, Court 13, and Court 14. If you book a Cabana Court, you get access to both the court and associated cabana for the following pricing:
Off-peak price: $100/hour
Peak price: $150/hour
2. Patio Cabanas - There are three Patio Cabanas along the rink entryway. These can be reserved at any time in one-hour increments online or via the CityPickle app. There is NO court access included with a Patio Cabana. Patio Cabanas cost $30/hour.
The cabanas are a perfect place to snack in between games!
Each cabana has a QR code for mobile ordering.
Once your food is ready, you will be notified that your food is available for pickup at the concession stand.
The perfect way to pickleball & party! Cabana Parties offer private use of a court and adjacent cabana, where players can enjoy pickleball and hang out in their own private lounge, enjoying food and drinks between matches.
Food & Drinks to be ordered from QR code within the cabana upon arrival. Additional $150 food & beverage minimum per cabana party reservation to be paid on-site.
*Must be 21 to drink alcohol: required to show your ID and receive a wristband at check-in.
Pickleball has a rating system similar to tennis to help players find good competition and even matchups. The ratings are as follows:
Novice - 2.000 to 2.999
Intermediate - 3.000 to 3.999
Advanced - 4.000 to 4.999
Pro - 5.000 to 8.000
Players can set their rating in the Profile section of their app.
Absolutely! Open Play will enforce rating parameters to ensure fair play and great competition. But you do not need a rating to partake in Clinics, Community Play, or regular court reservations.
Definitely! Pickleball is for everyone and is easy to pick up. Our 101 clinic is a great way to start!
Dynamic Universal PickleballRating is the most accurate and only global rating system in Pickleball. All players, regardless of their age, gender, location, or skill, are rated on the same scale between 2.000-8.000 based on their match results. Read more on the DUPR website.
