📍 Part of our Vermont pickleball guide — see all Vermont areas and courts.
Vermont has the shortest outdoor season in New England, which makes indoor pickleball the whole game for a big part of the year. The good news: the Burlington area now has a genuinely large dedicated club, and rec centers and fitness clubs carry play across the rest of the state. I’m Jason Regan, USA Pickleball Ambassador for New England — here’s the indoor map.
One honest note: many Vermont venues run pickleball as scheduled open-gym blocks through town rec departments and fitness clubs rather than as full-time courts, and schedules change with the season. Call ahead for current open-play times and rates.
