Pickleball Courts
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and 
ping-pong using a paddle and plastic ball with holes. It is appropriate for players of all ages and skill levels. Rules for pickleball are simple, making it a great introductory sport. It can also be quite a challenging, fast-paced, and competitive game when people become more experienced at playing.
Orange Village offers two pickleball courts. Court 1 is located next to Singer Pavilion near the playground. Court 2 is located next to the basketball court.
Only Orange Village residents can reserve a court. Note that Orange Village is different from the Orange City School District, which includes multiple municipalities.
Reservations are for 90 minutes. One reservation per day and you cannot reserve the same court more than twice per week with a total 3 days per week per household if utilizing both courts. You can reserve the courts 2 weeks in advance.

PARK HISTORY
In 1973, Orange Village purchased 31 acres of undeveloped land from the Rosko family with the hope that one day it could be the site for a new Village Hall. A small baseball field (Hazlett Field), accessible from Pike Drive, was constructed shortly after the land was purchased.
The first park plans were prepared in 1989, the park entry drive was installed, and construction of our park was underway. In 1991, council passed Ordinance 1989-18, which provides for the imposition of a $750 impact fee on new construction to be used for recreational development. By the end of 1995, Orange Village had acquired 15 more acres of land, increasing the size of our park to 46 acres. During this same period, recreational facilities had been expanded to include nature preserves with a half mile of paved trails, two baseball fields with bleachers and back stops and two tot lots with picnic pavilions, tables and grills, as well as our new municipal facility.
Over the course of many years our park has grown to 53.4 acres. Orange Village was awarded a Natureworks grant in 1998 to construct an additional ½ mile of paved nature trails, install fitness stations, and build 3 information kiosks. Residents can enjoy many amenities in our park including a soccer/football field, sand volleyball court, sledding hill, chipping/putting green, dog park, free library and a pickleball court.
In 2017, Orange Village upgraded the playground equipment with a state of the art play area, with a portion of the funds received from a Natureworks grant. In 2021, we are installing a permanent restroom facility near the playground.
Residents may reserve the ball fields, pickleball court and picnic pavilions by completing the reservation form found on our website at www.orangevillage.com or by contacting Village Hall at 440 498-4400. A $200 deposit is needed when reserving the pavilions.
