What is the Westwoods pickleball complex like?
Westwoods has eight dedicated pickleball courts beside the town-owned Westwoods Golf Course, along with a splash pad, pavilion and restrooms. The golf course’s own page calls it a “state-of-the-art pickleball facility” and sends players to Farmington Recreation for reservations and lessons.
- Hours: Monday to Saturday 7am to sunset, Sunday 9am to sunset, according to Patch’s report on the opening, citing town information.
- First come, first served: courts 1 to 4, per the town’s facility listing.
- Reservable: courts 5 to 8, June 1 to August 31 only.
- Phone: Farmington Recreation, (860) 675-2540.
The hours run until sunset, so plan on daylight play. I didn’t find lights mentioned in any town source.
How did Farmington end up with eight courts?
It built twice what it first approved. When the Plan and Zoning Commission approved the Westwoods project after an April 8, 2024 hearing, Patch reported the plan was for four courts, with room to add four more if demand was high. The finished complex has all eight.
The courts opened informally in September 2025 while the splash pad was still being built. The town held the official ribbon cutting on May 21, 2026. So the four-court expansion that was only an option in 2024 was built from the start.
How do you reserve a court at Westwoods?
Through the Farmington Recreation website, for courts 5 to 8, between June 1 and August 31. Patch’s opening report lists the rules:
- Price: $15 an hour for residents, $25 an hour for non-residents.
- Notice: book at least 48 hours ahead.
- Limit: two reservations per transaction.
The town doesn’t say how courts 5 to 8 are handled outside the summer window, so check with Farmington Recreation before you count on them in spring or fall.
Where can you play pickleball in Farmington in the winter?
Indoors at New Horizons Village. Farmington Recreation’s Adult Open Play runs 6 to 9pm in the Recreation Great Room, with four courts for rotating play and a cap of 36 players a night. You register month by month:
- Fee: $24 resident, $30 non-resident per monthly session.
- November 2026: Monday and Wednesday evenings. The Thursday session was canceled.
- Demand: when I checked on November 6, the Wednesday session had 0 seats left and Monday had 2.
- Residents first: residents get a two-day head start. November registration opened October 19 for residents and October 21 for everyone else.
One detail I like: the program page explains how they keep games balanced. Depending on the night, they use winners and losers paddle piles, skill-level stickers on paddles, or courts set aside by level. If you’re new to open play, our pickleball etiquette guide covers the open-play basics.
