Court Details

About this court

Pickleball in Bay City, Michigan has a well-established home at Carroll Park, located at 2201 Grove Land Rd, where 8 outdoor public courts are open to all comers seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The park holds a 4.4 rating from 594 Google reviews, reflecting consistent appreciation from both casual visitors and active players. Designed in 1875 by the same landscape architect behind New York's Central Park, the grounds bring a distinctive character to the playing experience — old-growth trees, wide open grassy areas, and a duck pond frame the multi-sport facilities. Beyond the courts, Carroll Park is tagged as kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and multi-sport, with a picnic area and water access making it easy to build a full day around a game. Players note the park feels like a welcoming, safe neighborhood retreat, and visitors mention the shaded grounds and gazebo area work especially well for family gatherings. A pavilion with picnic tables rounds out the amenities. For those tracking capacity, additional courts were planned for fall 2022, meaning the facility has been actively investing in expanded pickleball access. Whether you're a Bay City local or passing through Michigan, Carroll Park offers a publicly accessible, highly rated option with amenities that go well beyond the courts themselves.
