Magnarelli Community Center at McChesney Park

Court Details

About this court

At 2300 Grant Blvd in Syracuse, NY, the Magnarelli Community Center at McChesney Park offers a dedicated pickleball program across 5 total courts — 3 indoors and 2 outdoors — exclusively for participants aged 55 and older. Access requires membership and completion of an annual Participant Registration form each April, though play currently carries no charge. Indoor sessions run Monday through Friday, 3:00–7:00 PM, and Sunday, 12:00–8:00 PM, while the 2 outdoor courts operate seasonally from May through October on weekday mornings. Outdoor participants are responsible for signing out and returning nets to the center's office. Rated 4.3 out of 5 across 85 Google reviews, the facility earns consistent praise for its welcoming environment. Players note that regulars and staff treat one another like family, creating an accessible atmosphere for all skill levels. The program supports drop-in play and league play formats, and minimal equipment is available on-site — bringing personal paddles and balls is strongly advised. Beyond pickleball, the Magnarelli Community Center is a multi-sport hub with a wide variety of programming for both seniors and teens, contributing to a notably busy facility throughout the week. Reviewers mention that many programs are offered at no cost, reflecting the community-centered mission of the center. Located in the United States in Onondaga County, the facility's combination of indoor and outdoor courts, structured hours, and a dedicated 55-plus requirement makes it a distinct option for older adult pickleball players in the greater Syracuse area.
