Exchange Recreation Center

Court Details

About this court

Located at 2771 Columbia Drive in Decatur, Georgia, the Exchange Recreation Center provides free public pickleball access within a sprawling, family-oriented multi-sport campus. The facility holds a solid 4.6-star Google rating across 323 reviews, reflecting broad community appreciation even as some visitors note the courts and interior spaces are in need-of-work condition — a point echoed by players who mention that renovation and upkeep would elevate the experience considerably. Hours are Monday through Thursday 9 AM–9 PM, Friday 9 AM–7 PM, and Saturday 10 AM–3 PM, with the facility closed on Sundays. The Exchange Recreation Center is tagged for open play, making it accessible to drop-in pickleball players without advance scheduling. Amenities on the grounds include restrooms, a picnic area, pool, and dog-friendly spaces, and the site is recognized as kid friendly — reviewers mention summer camp programming, swimming, and a range of youth activities that keep families returning throughout the week. The multi-sport footprint means pickleball shares the campus with a variety of other recreational options, which adds energy to the site but also signals it caters to a broad, community-wide audience rather than dedicated pickleball-only visitors. Those looking for a free, conveniently located outdoor gathering spot in the Decatur, GA area will find this DeKalb County facility worth a visit, with the understanding that court conditions may require some patience.
