Smithfield Tennis and Pickleball Center is one of the top facilities in not only Cedar Rapids, IA…read morebut the entire Midwest! They offer 4 indoor tennis courts, 6 indoor pickleball courts, and 6 outdoor pickleball courts. For each of the indoor courts, they have a live camera to both view from the lobby or to record your matches if you need review or proof of winning a competitive match. Well stocked Pro Shop and Locker Rooms are at the entire which haven't seen either in many other competing centers around town! What makes Smithfield PTC special is their membership offerings for both lessons and clinics. They have a Standard membership if you are a social player or a Premium membership to allow you 6+ Reservations each month. The value of what is included in membership dues compared to what you pay is very affordable. If I were to live in Cedar Rapids full-time, I would be at Smithfield daily for their Pickleball drop-ins and recreation play. All the members I met during my stay were both friendly and inviting on and off the court. Looking forward to coming back to Cedar Rapids to visit Smithfield PTC in the near future!

Newly built facility in the heart of Cedar Rapids. Fantastic court dividers. No more yelling…read more"pickle" I had the opportunity to teach private and group clinics pickleball while being there.

The Palestra has four courts-- for basketball or volleyball with a handful of batting cages and pickleball courts! You can conveniently rent courts online. We were in a tournament run by the Palestra this past weekend. I'm knocking a star off this review because there were a handful of things I'd have done differently in regards to the tournament planning. (Notably; we were at TWO locations for the tournament vs one, our games were super duper late and finally, we had to provide a parent to run the scoreboard.) The Palestra is a great addition to the area!!

This has to do with other people and not the facility. Parents... PLEASE remember we all want to…read moresee our kids play ball!! I was forced to sit alone in an empty row of chairs this weekend because parents were holding chairs for the game after ours. Our poor kids didn't get a chance to see their parents sitting by the court because the game after was more important than ours apparently. We parents are all in this together!! Just ask the person in your seat to put your coat there when they are through. And for Pete's sake don't let your children practice dribbling between this mom and the game I'm trying to watch. I shouldn't have to ask your children to move!! My son's team did amazing and sadly went home with medals that weren't even intended for them. Some were baseball, not basketball, so yes I'm upset with the facility, but I'm more upset that parents can't work together to support our amazing kiddos.
