About Adelaide Hills Recreation Centre
Adelaide Hills Recreation Centre in Mount Barker is a large multi-activity facility with an indoor multipurpose sports hall, gym, group exercise classes and a kiosk. Pickleball runs through a local club that uses the centre's indoor courts every Wednesday from 10am to 12 noon.
Around 30 players attend each week, rotating opponents throughout the two-hour session so you get a variety of games. Casual visitors pay $10 per session. Those who join the pickleball club pay $5 per session, with a separate club joining fee. First-timers play free, making it easy to try the sport before committing.
The centre's kiosk serves snacks and freshly ground coffee. Being indoors, the courts are suitable year-round and shielded from the elements.
