McCollum Waveland Tennis Complex

Court Details

About this court

Pickleball courts with freshly painted blue lines are drawing players to McCollum Waveland Tennis Complex in Des Moines, IA, a free public facility at 4806 Observatory Road open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM. The complex carries a 4.4 Google rating across 50 reviews, and the courts are rated in good condition — players note minimal water pooling after rain and point to the recently repainted surfaces as a sign of ongoing upkeep. Restrooms and spectator seating add to the experience, making it a practical stop for both casual players and those watching competitive play. The multi-sport layout accommodates both tennis and pickleball side by side, and reviewers mention that the two communities share the space without friction. The facility is also connected to Roosevelt High School's tennis program, which some visitors credit for the consistently high maintenance standards — though the courts remain open to the public when school teams are not in use. For anyone seeking free, well-kept pickleball access in Des Moines with reliable hours across all seven days, McCollum Waveland represents a solid option worth the trip.
