Black Barn Pickleball in Dayton, Ohio

“If you want a perfect place to play pickleball, look no further. The Black Barn Pickleball is a great facility, perfect lighting and it's not loud. They did their research when designing this facility. Give them a try if you are in the area or even if your not!”

“I was visiting from Florida and decided to play at this facility, which is the nicest I have ever seen. The courts are concrete yet plush, giving way to your feet and helping take the load off your knees. The ball still bounces the same which was a concern that was very quickly squashed during warmup. My session cost $10 and was completely able to be done online (waiver + payment), meaning I was able to just walk…”

“Such a nice facility to play in! They went all out on the court design, and you can really feel the difference - softer on the joints and a consistent bounce of the ball. The lighting is great so it's a perfect playing experience. I play here often, and I always laugh at how the other games seem so quiet - I forget that there are even other games being played near ours. Good selection of snacks and drinks, too.”

He is…”

“Just an absolute perfect place to play pickleball. Best thing to happen to Riverside in my 4 years living here. Owners are incredible people, courts are so comfortable (it's not at the cost of playability at all, ball bounces perfectly every time). I have the founders plan, and if I were paying to play anywhere else as much as I do now at black barn, I would be spending 5x the money to do so. Ceilings are high…”

“These guys really thought of everything. The color scheme is easy on the eyes. The court surface plays very well and seems like it has some cushion (easy on the old knees). The lighting is bright and satisfies current standards. Could compete with any of the other pickleball facilities in Cincinnati or Columbus areas. Would recommend to check it out!”
