Open Play
EE Robinson Park
Because this is the oldest location in Gwinnett, it's still the spiritual home of pickleball in Gwinnett. There are 6 dedicated, individually fenced courts. We have courts reserved for open play on:
Tuesday evenings from 6-9 pm
M/W/F mornings from 9-noon
For these times, no reservation necessary; just come join us. At other times, the courts at EE Robinson are generally first-come, first-served, but you can reserve courts here for a nominal fee. There are folks there playing pretty much every morning and evening when the weather is dry and over 40 degrees, so come on out!
To stay in communication with players here, there are two GroupMe groups, based on time of play.
Rise & Shine Pickleballers
This group plays primarily on weekday mornings at EE Robinson from about 9-noon.

Bunten Road Park (Duluth)
This group plays M/W/F at 6:30 pm. It's a very casual, friendly, welcoming group. The courts use lines on tennis courts, using the tennis net.
Rhodes Jordan Park (Lawrenceville)
Tuesdays from 6:00-9:00 pm are open play on Courts 1-4. All skill levels welcome.
On Sunday @ 9:00 am, a group meets and I hear there's a wide variety of skill levels represented.
George Pierce Park (Suwanee)
The gym has open on certain weekdays, but they refuse to publish a calendar. You have to go by the gym after the 1st of the month to see what the schedule is for that month. It's silly, but it's an option. The Rise & Shine Pickleballers group above is used to for this location, as it's generally the same group of people, and they play at George Pierce when it's too cold/hot/wet to play at EER.
Leagues
We're running a ladder league on Sunday afternoons at Rhodes Jordan Park through Pickleball Den. October to May @ 2pm, and June to September @ 6:00 pm.
FORMAT: These events are played as an individual, and you rotate partners each game. You can click here to learn more about how to join us.
dupr events
Round Robins
On the 1st Thursday of each month (typically), we will run a round robin through DUPR at EE Robinson. This is open to players of all skill levels, but you need a DUPR rating first (it's free and easy).
FORMAT: These events are played with a fixed partner of your choosing. We can handle 12 pairs, and try to split into 2 pools of 6 teams, so you play 5 games for seeding purposes, then the top 4 go into playoffs. You can click here to learn more. Registration is through our DUPR club page.
Flex Leagues
We've just begun our fist round of flex leagues, but I would anticipate trying to start a new league every other month.
FORMAT: These events are played with a fixed partner of your choosing. Teams are split into brackets of 5 teams (ideally). Teams play a match (3 games) each week against a different opponent, at a place and time that you and your opponents agree upon. After all teams have played each other, the final week will be playoffs. Registration is through out DUPR Flex League page.
