On November 22, 2025, Dayton Metro Pickleball transformed into a glowing, neon-filled playground for our first-ever Glow Pickleball Party. Under black lights and bright UV colors, players lit up the courts with glowing paddles, vibrant outfits, and nonstop energy. The entire facility took on a fun and electric atmosphere that made the night feel unforgettable from the moment people walked in.
The reaction we heard over and over again was the same: “This looks amazing!” With the courts outlined in neon, the nets glowing, and players lighting up every rally, the whole space felt unlike any normal pickleball night. It was a perfect mix of community fun, friendly competition, and a totally new way to experience the game.
A Fun Night for Every Skill Level
One of the best parts of the event was how inclusive it felt. Beginners, regular open-play players, and long-time pickleball fans all jumped in and had a great time. The glow setup brought out a playful, relaxed atmosphere that made it easy for everyone to join in.

Glow Pickleball Will Return
The feedback from this first event was overwhelming, and many players asked when the next one will be. We’re excited to share that glow pickleball will absolutely be back in the future. Whether it’s another community party or a themed evening, we’ll be bringing the black lights out again.
Book Your Own Glow Party
Want a private glow pickleball experience? We’d be more than happy to turn the lights down and fire up the neon for your group. Glow pickleball is perfect for birthday parties, corporate events, and team-building activities.
