There are ( or were ) several in The Villages. I saw the list once but can't find it now. You can call the recreation department at 352-674-1800 and they can help you.

If you look in the rec guide it will say which have practice backboards. Not very wide and ball come off and angle sometimes, but better than nothing. When I want good workout I go behind the ladylake library and use the cement hand ball courts (3 sided concrete racketball size courts) you get true bounce off the cement. If you live on the northern side of the villages PM me will drill in the evenings if interested

Go to know, I've played pickleball at Truman but didn't notice tennis backboard. Looked in rec guide and it did not list it.
