Terms and Conditions

Outdoor Pickleball Court Hire

By confirming your booking and payment, you agree to Pickle Point's Terms and Conditions, including the Participation Waiver and Release of Liability set out below. In these terms, "Pickle Point" or "the Facility" means the outdoor pickleball facility operated by Pickle Point (ABN 19 679 380 995), including its directors, officers, employees, contractors and related entities.

​

1. Bookings and Payment

  • All court bookings must be made and paid for through our online booking system unless otherwise arranged.

  • Bookings are confirmed only once payment has been received in full.

  • Hirers must finish play by the end of their designated booking time. If the court remains available, the session may be extended and an additional charge will apply.

​

2. Cancellations, Rescheduling and No-Shows

 

Casual Bookings

  • Cancellations made 24 hours or more before the booking time: your booking will be rescheduled to another available date and time of your choice, at no charge. Simply contact us to arrange your new booking.

  • Cancellations made within 24 hours of the booking time: the booking fee is forfeited.

  • Rescheduled bookings are subject to court availability.

​

No-Show Policy

Failure to attend a booked session without cancelling is treated as a late cancellation, and the booking fee will be forfeited.

​

Special Events, Tournaments and Coaching Programs

Some events or specialty programs may have separate cancellation policies, which will be communicated at the time of booking.

​

3. Outdoor Weather Policy

Pickle Point is an outdoor facility and play is subject to weather conditions. Our GreenSet Cushion courts are generally quick to dry after rain.

​

  • If rain prevents or interrupts your session, you may choose either a full refund or to reschedule your booking to another available date and time — whichever you prefer.

  • Bookings are not automatically cancelled in wet weather. To cancel a booking due to rain, you must contact Pickle Point before or at your booking time. Wet-weather refunds and rescheduling will not be processed unless you reach out to us.

  • If you do not contact us and do not attend, the booking will be treated as a no-show under clause 2.

  • If heavy rain, lightning or other conditions make play unsafe, the Court Manager may close the courts. If we close the courts, the same choice of refund or rescheduling applies.

 

4. Outdoor Conditions Acknowledgement

As an outdoor venue, you acknowledge and accept that:

  • courts, surrounds and pathways may be affected by weather, moisture, leaves, debris, insects or wildlife;

  • sun exposure, heat, cold, wind and glare are inherent features of outdoor play, and you are responsible for your own sun protection, hydration and appropriate clothing and footwear;

  • court lighting is provided for evening play, and visibility may vary with light and weather conditions.

 

5. Safety and First Aid

While Pickle Point has extensive operating hours, we cannot always guarantee that a certified first aid officer will be onsite. Court hirers are responsible for their own safety, including having first aid supplies on hand. Play is at your own risk.
