New pickleball courts serve up more opportunities on the Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast's growing pickleball community will have even more possibilities to play, compete and connect, with eight new pickleball courts at Mooloolaba Tennis Club.
Supported by a $250,000 investment through the Minor Infrastructure and Inclusive Facilities Fund, the project has delivered a significant boost to local sporting infrastructure to create more avenues for people of all ages and abilities to get active, connect with their community and enjoy one of Australia’s fastest-growing sports.
The new courts come at a time of strong participation growth for pickleball, which is played daily at Mooloolaba Tennis Club through social competitions, coaching programs, leagues and casual court hire. The upgraded facility will also strengthen the region's capacity to host major events and tournaments, including Sunshine Coast Pickleball Open 2026.
Established in 1947, Mooloolaba Tennis Club is one of the Sunshine Coast's longest-standing sporting organisations. The club’s facilities include: six artificial grass tennis courts, four hard tennis courts, eight purpose-built pickleball courts, and floodlighting across all courts to support year-round participation.
The new facilities highlight our commitment to delivering inclusive, accessible sporting infrastructure that supports growing communities and encourages more Queenslanders to participate in sport.
