Local Pickleball Guide - Ogden, Utah

by laurapbc on Mar 4, 2020

Ogden is just a short drive north of Salt Lake City, and it's a veritable hotbed of pickleball activity despite its snowy reputation—since it's a gateway to many of Utah's ski resorts. Ogden provides a picturesque view of the Wasatch Mountains along with easy access to many courts both indoors and out. The initial growth of pickleball in the area was largely thanks to avid player and philanthropist John Gullo.
