About this court

At 5601 Read Boulevard in New Orleans, LA, Joe W. Brown Park is a public recreational hub carrying a 4.5 rating from 1,339 Google reviews, with pickleball among its multi-sport offerings. The park is tagged as both Pay To Play and Free to Play, and its condition is listed as good — a sentiment echoed by players who note that the facilities are kept up well and offer a surprisingly broad range of activities. Weekday access runs from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM Monday through Thursday, closing at 7:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 5:00 PM on Sundays, giving the community consistent access throughout the week. Beyond courts, the park's amenity tags include a pool, fitness center, and restrooms, reinforcing its reputation as a full-service destination in New Orleans East. Named after one of Louisiana's largest independent oil producers, the park hosts year-round events and draws families thanks to its kid-friendly designation. Visitors mention the walking path, sports fields, and seasonal programming as highlights, though some note that maintenance and visibility in late evenings can be inconsistent — worth keeping in mind when planning an evening session.
