TOSS THE CAP, GRAB A PADDLE

Where Graduation Meets Celebration

This graduation season, skip the predictable and celebrate somewhere that actually feels like a win. At The Pickle Lodge, the vibe is laid-back, high-energy, and anything but ordinary.

Whether you're celebrating a high school grad, college grad, or anything in between, we’ve got everything you need to throw a party people will actually talk about.

Take it indoors or head out to The Beach Club, our outdoor courts built for big celebrations. We’ll handle the setup—you just show up ready to play, eat, and raise a glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers — and plenty of extra paddles, too. Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, a team outing, or a “just because we love pickleball” party, we’re here to make it easy (and a whole lot of fun). We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about court time, catering, and celebrating with your crew — so you can spend less time planning and more time playing.
Playing Pickleball
Why is The Pickle Lodge ideal for graduation parties? Plus

We bring together play and celebration in one unforgettable experience. With indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, on-site food and drinks, and private spaces to gather, you’ll have everything you need to host a graduation party that’s as fun as it is memorable—all in one place.

Who can play pickleball? Plus

Anyone and everyone! Pickleball is the ultimate all-ages, all-skill-level game.

Whether you’re a first-timer, a casual player, or a self-proclaimed dink master, it’s easy to jump in and have a great time.

If you can hold a paddle, you can play pickleball — and if you can’t, we’ll teach you!

What if we don’t know how to play pickleball? Plus

No worries — that’s what we’re here for! Our team of friendly instructors can teach your group the basics, from rules and scoring to serving and smashing. Within minutes, you’ll be playing, laughing, and wondering why you didn’t try pickleball sooner.

What if some guests don’t want to play? Plus

They’ll still have a great time! Guests can relax at Erne’s Pickle Bar, grab a slice from Two Cities, or cheer from courtside seating. There’s no pressure — just options.
