Court Details

About this court

Located at 1834 North Lawndale Avenue, McCormick YMCA is a public pickleball destination in Chicago, IL, United States, operating under a pay-to-play model with a 4.3-star Google rating drawn from 278 reviews. Weekday access runs 6:00 AM–9:00 PM Monday through Friday, while Saturday and Sunday hours are 7:00 AM–7:00 PM — a schedule that accommodates both early-morning regulars and weekend players. Importantly, courts are currently flagged as needing work, so players seeking polished playing conditions may want to confirm current status before visiting. Beyond the courts themselves, the facility offers an unusually broad amenity lineup: locker rooms, showers, a fitness center, pool, childcare, and restrooms all on site. This range makes it a practical stop for players who want to combine a pickleball session with a broader workout or bring younger family members along. Players note that staff at the front desk tend to be welcoming and that the facility's programming is a genuine draw for regulars. Review sentiment across the 278 ratings is mixed in ways worth noting. Several visitors appreciate the diversity of programs and the convenience of amenities, while others describe a gradual decline in facility upkeep — citing maintenance concerns in locker rooms and equipment reliability in the fitness area. Customer service experiences also vary, with some visitors reporting warm interactions and others encountering less consistent treatment. For pickleball players weighing membership or drop-in fees, the combination of extended daily hours and a full amenity package remains a meaningful draw despite the noted court condition concerns.
