Waipuilani Park Pickleball Courts - Kihei, Hawaii

Waipuilani Park in Kihei puts you a short walk from the beach with pickleball courts that benefit from a setting most mainland players only see on vacation. The park sits along South Kihei Road and includes both pickleball and tennis courts. Clinics run here for players who want to work on their game, and the combination of lights and restrooms means you can plan a longer session without cutting things short.

The courts are outdoors and catch the ocean breeze, which keeps afternoon play comfortable even in summer. Sunsets visible from the park are a genuine bonus, and players often linger after games just to take in the view. A large horizontal tree trunk near the beach end creates a natural shaded seating area that's popular with both players and spectators.

Parking is available, though the location's popularity with beach-goers means the lot can fill up on weekends. Restrooms are near the south end of the parking area. The park is managed by Maui County, so facility hours and any reservation requirements go through the county parks system at mauicounty.gov.
