About this court

Free pickleball access in Ballston Lake, NY is available at Veterans Memorial Park & Mooney Carrese Forest, a publicly accessible multi-sport complex located at 697 Mac Elroy Road. Open every day from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM, the facility carries a 4.5 Google rating from 50 reviews and is described as being in good condition — a reflection of the consistently well-maintained grounds visitors encounter. The park's amenity set adds real value for players planning a longer visit. A covered pavilion with picnic benches provides shade and a place to gather, while restrooms on site make extended stays comfortable. The complex is dog friendly and kid friendly, and its multi-sport character means pickleball fits within a larger recreational landscape that includes athletic fields and wooded trails. Players note the park feels notably quiet and peaceful during weekday hours, while weekends draw a broader community crowd. Situated in New York's Capital Region, US, the park's natural surroundings — including forested walking trails through old-growth woodland — add a distinctive backdrop not found at typical urban court facilities. Visitors mention the grounds are kept tidy and that the overall setting is well-suited to families wanting to pair a few games of pickleball with an outdoor outing. Comfortable footwear is advisable given the mixed terrain throughout the broader complex.
