It all started with a set of 4 paddles, a few balls, and a couple of summers of chasing open courts around West Island and Vaudreuil. We played until the lights shut off, got eaten alive by mosquitoes, and nearly passed out in the heat — but we couldn’t get enough of the game.

In late fall after getting rained on while playing the big question hit:

Should we open our own indoor pickleball facility? And honestly, the answer came fast — yessir.

What started as a simple idea quickly turned into months of research, travel, planning, setbacks, and serious hustle. Early mornings, late nights, a lot of “figure-it-out-as-we-go,” and a ton of passion led to what is now MTL Pickleball — a 30,000 sq. ft. indoor facility with 11 tournament-size courts in Kirkland, that’s open year-round for anyone who loves the game or wants to learn it.

From day one, our mission has been simple: Build a home for pickleball in Montreal. A place where anyone — from first-time players to seasoned competitors — feels welcome. A place that fuels healthy, active living, and community vibes. A place that’s fun.

We’re proud to have Emma Li, one of Canada’s top players, as part of our team – coaching, leading events, and helping us grow the sport we love.

Whether you’re dropping in to hit a few balls, joining a league, signing up for a clinic, or just curious about the hype… you’re in the right place. We’re building and always improving the experience  — the doors are open, and the energy is real. So come visit. Come play. Come be part of our ever growing community.

Our journey has just begun. Let’s play.

Our facility is fully air-conditioned and designed for comfort and performance. It features 11 tournament-sized courts, a pro shop, changing rooms and washrooms, lockers, a water fountain, a vending machine, and a spacious multi-purpose event room. We’ve installed a top-quality roll-out surface made specifically for pickleball, delivering a consistent bounce similar to a tennis court — ideal for both competitive and recreational play. To enhance the playing experience, we use removable curtain-style dividers between courts.

These help reduce distractions and prevent balls from crossing into other games. Concerned about visibility? No worries — the dividers can be taken down, and we’ve placed high chairs courtside so you can comfortably watch the action.
