Montford Park

Court Details

About this court

Free pickleball in Asheville, NC doesn't get more accessible than Montford Park, a public green space on Montford Ave. in the city's historic Montford neighborhood. The park features two lighted outdoor courts — tennis surfaces dual-painted for pickleball — available every day of the week from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM with no charge to play. Courts operate on an open-play basis whenever the park is open, though players should expect to share the space with tennis users. Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 200 Google reviews, Montford Park draws a broad mix of visitors. Players note the calm, drama-free atmosphere, and reviewers frequently highlight how welcoming the space is for families and dog owners. The park's amenities support longer visits: restrooms, a picnic area, and available parking are all on-site, and the multi-sport layout means there's activity beyond the pickleball lines as well. For those new to the Asheville, NC pickleball scene or looking for a no-cost weekday or weekend session, Montford Park covers the basics well. Courts are in good condition and lit for evening play, extending usable hours well past sunset. Questions about scheduling or court access can be directed to the park contact at 828-299-1769, and the local USAPA Asheville Ambassador is also available as a community resource for organized play opportunities in the area.
