About this court

Pickleball at Fort Family Park in Jacksonville, FL is played on 4 newly built outdoor courts featuring a vibrant blue surface — a standout detail players consistently mention alongside the automatic LED lighting that enables comfortable evening sessions. The courts are publicly accessible and free to play, open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, though the evenings draw the heaviest crowds.
