Pickleball in Williston, Florida

Williston sits in Levy County between Gainesville and Ocala, with its public pickleball courts close to downtown. The City of Williston Pickleball/Tennis Courts give residents and visitors two lighted courts without requiring a trip to a larger neighboring city.

Williston Crossings RV Resort also has pickleball as part of its recreation amenities. It is a private 55+ RV resort, so it is most relevant to travelers staying at the property rather than players looking for general public access.

Where to Play Pickleball in Williston

• City of Williston Pickleball/Tennis Courts, 415 NW 4th Ave. Levy County's tourism office lists two public pickleball courts with lights at this City facility. A recurring open-play schedule is not published, so these courts are most predictable when you arrange partners before arriving. Check the City of Williston Parks Department.
• Williston Crossings RV Resort, 410 NE 5th St. This private 55+ RV resort includes pickleball among its recreation amenities and promotes an active social environment for resort guests.

If you are staying there, ask the resort about current pickleball activities and playing times when you check in. Check Williston Crossings RV Resort.
