YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase

Court Details

About this court

Located at 9401 Old Georgetown Road, the YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase in Bethesda, MD is a membership-based, multi-sport facility where pickleball is one of several recreational options available throughout the week. Weekday access opens as early as 6:00 AM and runs until 10:00 PM Monday through Friday, while Saturday hours extend to 8:00 PM and Sunday starts at 8:00 AM — a schedule that accommodates a range of playing times. The facility is tagged as pay-to-play and kid friendly, and it offers locker rooms, showers, restrooms, a fitness center, and a pool alongside its multi-sport programming. The court condition is flagged as needing work, which aligns with the facility's 3.5 Google rating drawn from 94 reviews. Some players note that pickleball alone can be a functional reason to visit, but many reviewers mention that shared amenities — particularly the pool and locker rooms — have faced maintenance and cleanliness issues. Crowding is a recurring theme as well, especially during peak hours when multiple programs compete for space. Founded as a community-focused nonprofit in 1844, this US YMCA location carries a long institutional history and, according to longer-tenured members, a genuine sense of community for those invested in the organization's broader programs. For pickleball players weighing this venue, the wide operating hours and multi-amenity access are practical advantages, though the current condition rating suggests managing expectations around facility quality.
