Hillhurst Park

Court Details

About this court

Hillhurst Park in Schenectady, NY, United States, is a publicly accessible pickleball destination featuring 3 dedicated outdoor courts at the corner of Campbell Ave & 11th St. The courts were newly lined on existing tennis courts and are available 24 hours a day, every day of the week, at no cost to players. The facility carries a 4.1 Google rating from 221 reviews, and visitors note the courts are well maintained — though some mention that adding lighting would improve the experience for evening sessions. Beyond the pickleball courts, Hillhurst Park functions as a broader multi-sport and family space, with basketball courts, open green fields, playgrounds, and a swimming pool. The park draws families regularly, and reviewers highlight its suitability for cookouts and gatherings thanks to a patio and grill area. Some visitors note limited shade on warmer days, so morning or late-afternoon play may be more comfortable in peak summer. For players looking to get started or bring younger participants, the park offers a free structured kids' pickleball program on Monday mornings from 10 AM to noon and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 PM, with paddles and balls provided. Those interested in the program can reach organizer Jim Plotnik directly at 518-366-9337. The combination of free access, dedicated courts in good condition, and organized programming makes Hillhurst Park a well-rounded option for pickleball in the Schenectady area.
