Griffin YMCA (Riverside)

Court Details

About this court

Located at 221 Riverside Ave. in Jacksonville, FL, the Griffin YMCA brings pickleball to one of the city's most well-rounded indoor recreation facilities. Four indoor courts in good condition host scheduled play on Mondays and Fridays from 9 AM to noon — sessions open to members, with guests permitted for up to two visits. The pickleball program has been part of the YMCA's offerings since January 2015, giving it nearly a decade of community roots. For questions or scheduling, contact Ken Criss at 904-614-5439. With a Google rating of 4.6 across more than 1,526 reviews, this facility earns consistent praise beyond the courts. Players and visitors note the warm, professional staff and clean, well-managed spaces throughout. Amenities on-site include a pool, fitness center, locker rooms with showers, and family-friendly programming — making it a natural fit for members who want more than just court time. The multi-sport setup and kid-friendly environment make it a practical choice for households balancing different fitness needs. Weekday hours begin at 5 AM and run until 9 PM Monday through Thursday and 8 PM on Fridays, with weekend hours from 7 AM to 5 PM. Some members mention the evening and weekend closing times as a limitation, particularly compared to other gym options in the Jacksonville, United States market. That said, the facility's overall condition, programming depth, and long-standing pickleball schedule make it a reliable option for indoor play on the Riverside corridor.
