About this court
Located across from the old hospital on Gum Street in Franklin, Louisiana, the Franklin Recreation Center provides 3 free indoor pickleball courts open to the public Monday through Friday around the clock. Organized pickleball sessions run three Wednesdays a month from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., with participation open to adults 18 and older. Because one Wednesday per month rotates off the schedule, prospective players are encouraged to call contact Chris at 337.828.6324 before making the trip, particularly if they are not regular attendees. The center carries a 4.6 Google rating across 22 reviews in Franklin, LA, United States, reflecting generally positive community sentiment. Players note a welcoming, social environment — reviewers mention the staff, a sense of community among participants, and an upbeat atmosphere. However, some visitors flag that the space could use attention, which aligns with its current "needs work" condition rating. Acoustic improvements have also been suggested by reviewers, a consideration worth noting for an indoor multi-sport facility. As a free, multi-sport public venue, the Franklin Recreation Center is a practical option for local pickleball enthusiasts seeking no-cost court access on a consistent weekday schedule. Weekend closures and the rotating Wednesday mean planning ahead is key to making the most of what this community recreation space has to offer.
