Court Details

About this court

Located at 1500 Lafreniere Street, St. Bernard Recreation Center is a free-to-play, public pickleball destination in New Orleans, LA — and a well-regarded one at that, holding a 4.2-star Google rating across 67 reviews. The facility is in good condition and carries a multi-sport designation, meaning pickleball shares space with other recreational activities in a bustling community hub. Restrooms and a pool are both on-site, rounding out the amenities for a full afternoon visit. Hours are generous on weekdays — 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Friday — giving working players a solid window after hours to get on the court. Saturday access runs from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and the center is closed on Sundays. The kid-friendly tag is well earned; visitors mention it's a walkable neighborhood resource where families feel at ease, and the pool makes it especially appealing for younger guests. Reviewers in New Orleans consistently highlight the helpful, welcoming staff and the clean, organized environment. The center's free access and public availability make it a practical choice for casual players across skill levels in the greater New Orleans, US community who want to enjoy pickleball without a membership or court fee.
