Ellis Field Tennis Courts

Court Details

About this court

At Ellis Field Tennis Courts on 512 McCool Avenue in East Syracuse, NY, United States, pickleball is available free of charge on two painted outdoor courts positioned next to the existing tennis court. The courts rely on portable nets, and players looking for solo drilling will find a hitting wall on site. No permanent lights are dedicated to the pickleball area, so those planning evening sessions should account for natural light conditions—though lights are noted as an amenity within the broader park. For those interested in structured play, a club session runs every Monday evening from 6:00–8:00 PM, excluding holidays and rain days; players can also bring their own nets during off-hours when the park is otherwise open. Contact Ken Foresti at 315-559-3051 for scheduling details. The facility carries a 4.4-star Google rating across 113 reviews, reflecting generally favorable sentiment toward the park as a whole. Public hours shift throughout the week, with midday openings Monday through Thursday (closing at 5:00 or 6:00 PM) and later afternoon-to-evening windows Friday through Sunday (1:00–7:00 PM). Beyond pickleball, Ellis Field is tagged as kid friendly and includes a pool, lending it broad appeal for family outings. Players note the welcoming neighborhood atmosphere, while some visitors mention that the pool area can feel crowded during busy periods. The free-to-play, publicly accessible format makes this East Syracuse location a straightforward option for recreational pickleball without a financial commitment.
