This website is dedicated to the sport of pickleball. Here you will find information on the history of the sport, how to play, where to play, and more.

The 16 world-class outdoor courts at Pine Nursery have been the ideal fit for the Pickleball craze in Bend for the last several years. Yet, the need for an indoor facility to use during the winter season needed to be addressed. Enter Werner Zehnder and Butch Roberts, co-owners of Pickleball Zone Bend (PZB). Thanks to these two men with a passion for the sport of Pickleball, every pickleballers' dream for a state-of-the-art indoor facility and training academy came to fruition. After years of planning, Pickleball Zone Bend opened its doors on October 29th, 2018. This 55,000 square foot facility hosts Trampoline Zone & Adventure Park on the ground floor, and 8 dedicated pickleball courts on the 3rd floor. The Head Players Lounge adds comfort and mountainous views from the 4th floor.

The Pickleball Zone plans to make money by having a mix of memberships and renting out courts to individuals. They will also offer lessons, clinics, and camps through their Oregon Pickleball Academy.
