In Albuquerque, playing pickleball is easy—just head to Manzano Mesa Pickleball Courts. Featuring 18 dedicated hard-surface courts (12 with lights), this complex is the largest in New Mexico, hosts many local and regional tournaments, and is a must-stop for pickleball players. Play is free and the complex has shaded areas, water, access to bathrooms, an adjacent playground, and is a short distance to local eateries on world famous Route 66. Even better, the complex is about to get a major expansion in 2023-2024, which will add 15 new courts and other amenities.
