Lead listed this as 'Collinsville' but the venue is actually in the neighboring Village of Maryville, IL. Confirmed via the Village of Maryville's own official site: the Parks & Recreation page offers a QR code to 'reserve a pickleball court', and the village's own event calendar previously listed a pickleball instructional session located at 'Drost Park @ end of E. Division St., near Pavilion #7'. Exact court count and address not given by the primary source (a 2021 Illinois Business Journal article separately reported courts opening at Drost Park, but could not be fetched for verification here).
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
