Burns Park

Court Details

About this court

Situated along the Arkansas River in North Little Rock, AR, Burns Park is part of five contiguous parks that together form one of the region's most expansive public recreation areas — and pickleball is just one activity available at this free-to-play destination. The park holds a strong 4.6-star rating across more than 3,500 Google reviews, a reflection of its good overall condition and broad appeal. Gates are open every day of the week from 6:00 AM to midnight, offering generous windows for morning warm-ups or evening play. The surrounding campus is notably diverse for a public park. Amenities documented on-site include multi-use paved and unpaved trails, a dog park, multiple sport complexes, an amusement area, playgrounds, pavilions, a covered bridge, an archery range, RV campgrounds, and a 36-hole golf course along the Arkansas River. Tags for the location — Kid Friendly, Restrooms, Picnic Area, and Multi-Sport — underscore how well-suited it is for families pairing a pickleball outing with a longer visit. Reviewer sentiment in the US reinforces the data: players and visitors consistently mention the well-kept grounds and the sheer variety of things to do, with families in particular calling it an easy spot to spend a full day outdoors. Some visitors note that navigation to the main park area can be tricky if relying solely on map apps, as trail heads are located some distance from the central facilities — so planning the route in advance is worthwhile before heading out to play.
