About this court

Pickleball in Fort Myers, Florida gets a well-rounded home at Wa-Ke-Hatchee Recreation Center, 16760 Bass Road — a public county facility holding a 4.6 Google rating across 636 reviews. The site features 4 outdoor courts and 6 indoor courts, all reported to be in good condition. Outdoor courts are open to everyone daily from sunrise to sunset at no charge on a first-come, first-serve basis. The 6 indoor courts, whose floors were painted in 2007 to expand pickleball capacity, operate on a structured weekly schedule — Tuesdays 11 AM–2 PM, Wednesdays 6:30–8:45 PM, Saturdays 11 AM–1 PM, and Sundays 9:30 AM–3 PM — and require a one-time $10 lifetime membership. Players note the indoor group is particularly active. It's worth calling ahead (239-432-2154) to confirm current indoor schedules. The broader recreation campus adds considerable value for families and multi-sport visitors. Amenities include a fitness center, restrooms, ADA accessibility, lights, a picnic area, and water stations. Visitors mention a well-kept dog park that separates small and large dogs, a maintained playground, walking trails around scenic lakes, and two gymnasium spaces. The grounds are described as dog friendly and kid friendly, and the park sits adjacent to a junior high school — reviewers do flag that parking near the rec center entrance can tighten on school days. For pickleball players seeking a facility in Fort Myers, United States, with both indoor and outdoor options at minimal cost, Wa-Ke-Hatchee is a practical, community-oriented choice.
