Dred, Scott Pickleball courts

Court Details

About this court

Located at 10820 Ferry Rd. in Bloomington, MN, Dred Scott Pickleball Courts bring 6 dedicated outdoor courts to one of the Twin Cities area's most well-rounded public recreational facilities in the United States. Rated 4.5 stars across 418 Google reviews, the courts are free to access every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making them accessible to a wide range of schedules. The fenced courts are configured in two side-by-side clusters of three and are outfitted with permanent nets and push-button lights for evening play — a feature players specifically call out as a practical bonus. The courts sit within a 48-acre park that supports both open play and league play, so whether you're dropping in for a casual game or competing in organized formats, the venue accommodates both. Visitors mention that concessions are consistently available during league sessions, with staff described as attentive and pricing noted as reasonable. Restrooms are on-site, and parking is reported to be plentiful. Reviewers also point to the surrounding tall pines as a natural wind and low-sun buffer that improves on-court conditions. Beyond pickleball, the park includes softball fields, tennis courts, batting cages, mini-golf, and multi-sport fields, making Dred Scott a destination for entire groups or families where not everyone picks up a paddle. The courts themselves were opened in summer 2022 and are currently rated in good condition, reflecting the facility's broader reputation for well-maintained grounds and attentive upkeep.
