Court Details

About this court

Tucked inside a multi-sport facility at 1010 W. South Side Drive, Decatur Athletic Club in Decatur, IL, United States, provides pickleball on 1 dedicated indoor court with a structured schedule designed to fit a range of availability. Access is membership-based, though non-members can participate through a $5-per-player pay-to-play arrangement. Pre-arranged sessions are held Monday 10–11:30 AM and Tuesday and Thursday 12–1:30 PM, with additional open court blocks on Tuesday–Thursday mornings (8:30–11:30 AM), Monday–Friday afternoons (2–4 PM), Thursday evenings (6–8 PM), and Saturday/Sunday afternoons (3–5 PM). Paddle rentals make it accessible for casual players, and members have the added option of reserving the court for private use by contacting Chuck Kuhle at 217-423-7020. Beyond pickleball, the club features a fitness center, pool, locker rooms, and restrooms, reflecting its broader multi-sport footprint. The facility carries a 4.6 Google rating across 96 reviews, though that score masks a notable split in sentiment. Some players highlight the variety of equipment and amenities, while a significant number of reviewers note a decline in facility condition following a 2023 management change — citing maintenance issues, cleanliness concerns, and HVAC problems. The court's condition is independently listed as needing work, so players with strong surface preferences may want to verify current status before making the trip to Decatur.
