Close the gap on accidental injuries with Emerge Insurance Services

Join us to participate in Pictona’s annual fall tournament on October 23-26, 2025. You’ll appreciate playing in a round robin format capped with a playoff. For each bracket the round robins are played in a pod of courts, resulting in minimal wait time between games. Earn your way to the championship finals, most of which are played in the MetroHealth Stadium for a memorable experience.

Women’s doubles, men’s doubles, mixed doubles, and singles will be available.

We offer five skill levels, from 3.0 to 5.0, and 9 age groups (<30, 30+, 40+, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+). Join us for the entire tournament.

We were flattered to be called the “best pickleball facility in the world”. Pictona is constantly seeking ways to improve the tournament player experience. We aim to provide you with exceptional service delivered by our staff and member volunteers.

Welcome to Pictona, pickleball paradise in Holly Hill.
