Pickleball Canada releases 2025 participation survey results

February 6, 2025

February 6, 2025 (Ottawa, ON) – Pickleball Canada has released results from a recent survey estimating that 1.54 million people in Canada are currently playing the sport of pickleball.

The survey was conducted in January of this year and indicates a 57 percent increase in participation over the past three years. The survey also noted that the largest increase in participation over the past year has been in the 35-54 age group.

Ontario comes in with the highest number of players, an estimated 598,900 participants. Quebec followed in second, with approximately 315,000 players.

The number of Canadians with a Pickleball Canada membership also grew by 25% from the end of 2023 (68,102 members) to the end of 2024 (85,223 members). This increase can be attributed to the vibrant pickleball community, and the many benefits Pickleball Canada members enjoy, including access to sanctioned tournaments nationwide, a cutting-edge officiating program, coaching opportunities, and exciting local and provincial/territorial club initiatives.

The survey highlighted some of the barriers Canadians may face when trying to participate in pickleball. The two main obstacles indicated in the results were a lack of information about the sport (21%) and a shortage of facilities (15%).
