Alan· 2 months agoGreat first time pickleball experience here in terms of open play competitiveness, but wait time can be long between games on busy mornings. A great white board system for signing up and tracking games. We loved that the skill levels are separated - 6 courts under 3.5 and 8 courts 3.5+ assuring reasonably competitive matches for all. Lots of very good players here are truly 3.5+ up to 4.0 and a few 4.5. We also found this to be a nice group of players (social, cordial, respectful and competitive!). This will be one of our go to parks for open play mornings when in the Naples area.
Elliott Gervais· a year agoNice park, a lot of retirees, not a lot of riff raff going on. Pickle ball courts, baseball fields, a covered hockey rink (first time I’ve see that in Florida on my travels), dog parks for small and large dogs, and more.
Carmen Hippen· 7 months agoEnjoyed the Wednesday morning Farmer’s Market. Made the mistake of dining beforehand. Big mistake as there are so many great options at the market. Fabulous bread and bakery options, fresh fruit & vegies and prepared international foods as well as honey, jewelry & art.
Jorge Sotres· 4 months agoI love the pickleball courts. Always nice people to play.
Katie Willis· 8 months agoThis is a great park with lots of shade. They have hoops, tennis, pickleball, dog park and more we did not experience. Looks well kept.
