Robert C. Burke Memorial Park

Court Details

About this court

Located at 601 W Railroad St in Monticello, IL, Robert C. Burke Memorial Park offers two outdoor pickleball courts that are free and open to the public every day from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The courts are in good condition and overlay existing tennis courts with dedicated pickleball lines, making them a shared-use space that accommodates both sports. Lights are available to extend play into the evening hours, and the park's kid-friendly environment makes it a practical stop for families. With a Google rating of 4.7 across 98 reviews, players note the well-maintained grounds and accessible location within walking distance of nearby neighborhood venues. For those looking to connect with the local pickleball community, Monticello Pickleball runs organized group play from mid-May to mid-September, with reserved court times on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Paddles and balls are provided on-site, and free lessons are available for newcomers during group sessions — a low-barrier entry point for beginners. The park sits just west of the Monticello Pool, and visitors often mention bringing lawn chairs to enjoy the surroundings. For scheduling inquiries, Randy & Linda Rose can be reached at 217-762-9330.
