The closest open-air courts to the city — on the rooftop at Broadway, a short walk from Central. Head straight from work, play under lights, and skip the trip to the suburbs.
City-close pickleball, on a rooftop
If you are weighing up where to play pickleball in Sydney, the deciding factor from the city is simple: how quickly can you get on court. From the CBD, this is as close as it gets.
The closest rooftop courts to the city
Broadway sits right on the southern edge of the CBD. For anyone working, studying or living in the city, it is the most reachable pickleball there is — no long trip out to the suburbs.
Made for after work
Open until 10pm and fully floodlit, so a 6pm finish in the city means a 6:20 game on the rooftop. Courts are available every day, 7am – 10pm.
No car needed
A short walk from Central and Railway Square, with buses running along Broadway all day. One of the few Sydney courts you can reach on foot from the city.
