From River Run to Indoor Clubs

Parking, a walking path, playground, dog park, bocce court, and ball field are also available. Village parks are free to use. There is no published recurring open play schedule here, so the court is most reliable when you already have someone to play with. River Run Park information

Where Organized Play Happens

The Wembley Club provides the main organized pickleball program in the immediate Chagrin Falls area. Members can participate in open play and skill-level clinics, along with managed play and drill sessions. See current Wembley pickleball programming.

Ace Pickleball Club in Solon provides another year-round option. Member open play is available all day during normal club hours rather than only during a few scheduled blocks. Players check in, find the courts for their skill level, and use the paddle stack to enter games. The club also runs clinics, tournaments, mixers, leagues, and other events. See Ace Solon programs and events.

River Run Park and the seasonal Chagrin Valley Recreation Center courts provide public or day-use court access, not a published recurring open play program.

If You Arrive Without Partners

A solo visitor should distinguish between Chagrin Falls' public courts and its organized club play. River Run Park is the public local choice, although there is only one court and no guaranteed open play rotation. It is much more predictable when you already have a partner or group.

If you have access to The Wembley Club, its member open play provides a better route into games. Ace Pickleball Club in Solon is another strong option for Ace members and accompanying guests because open play runs throughout the day and the paddle stack moves individual players into games.

Ace members visiting from another participating Ace location may also be able to use the club's Travel Pass program. See Travel Pass eligibility. Visitors without club access should use River Run as the local public court and should not assume that an organized group will be present.
