Dundee's pickleball scene is quietly building momentum, spread across university sports halls, council-run leisure centres, community hubs and even a park beside an observatory. It's not the biggest scene in Scotland yet, but it's a genuinely accessible one - most venues run on a pay-and-play or drop-in basis, so you don't need to be tied into a club to get a game. Here's where to find a court in Dundee.
