Where We Play
The home of the Janesville Pickleball Club is Riverside Park in Janesville. Tip: enter Riverside Park Tennis Courts into your GPS. A parking lot is located near the pickleball (only) courts past the two tennis courts near the North Pavilion and the Ice Age Trail entrance. Public restrooms are located nearby as well.
Built in 2018, the Jim Clark Courts in Riverside Park has consisted of six pickleball courts. We are excited that six new courts with lights will be completed in the Spring 2025 to bring our total to 12 courts! All JPC members, visitors, and guests are welcome to enjoy these public courts near the Rock River in beautiful Riverside Park which is part of the City of Janesville park system.
JPC members also play in surrounding communities such as Milton (high school) and Beloit (Wooten Park). During the cooler months, many members play locally at the Janesville YMCA, the Janesville Athletic Club, and Woodland Center in Janesville.
