Scott Abajian· 8 months agoThere are 6 nice pickleball courts at this park. I am staying in Destin, and at 7am it's a 20 minute drive. The 7am group is mostly retired people with lots of 3.5 - 4.0 players with not much wait to play. It is usually 4 on and 4 off. By 9am it starts to get really busy. My only complaint would be there are dead spots on some of the courts that come into play every so often. The players are welcoming to non-locals. Fun place to play!
Kin Tse· 2 years agoIf you're in a 10 mile radius of this park, this is the place to be for some fun free open play! Came from 9-11, stayed packed the whole time. People are super friendly, and games rotated about once every 15 minutes. 2 thumbs up!
Kade Hawkins· 5 months ago6 pickleball couts, good codition. A few trees for shade while you wait. 3.0 to 3.5 level play
Dawn Marie B.· 3 years agoFun morning with 6 courts available. Locals are pretty good about playing with folks that put their paddles in. Mornings head to busy at 8am.
Charles Steinkamp· 4 months agoFun spot to play some pickleball! Has a good rotation system even when there’s lots of people.
