Stephens-Lee Recreation Center

Court Details

About this court

In Asheville, North Carolina, Stephens-Lee Recreation Center has emerged as a well-regarded destination for indoor pickleball, housing 3 newly updated courts inside a public multi-sport facility at 30 George Washington Carver Ave. Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 119 reviews, the center draws consistent praise from visitors who note the courts are bright, clean, and spacious — a direct result of recent renovations that also upgraded the weight room and other amenities. Structured pickleball sessions are scheduled throughout the week: Wednesday and Friday mornings, Tuesday evenings, and Sunday afternoons, all for a modest $3 fee. Regular weekday hours run 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday, with slightly shorter windows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The courts operate under the guidance of USAPA ambassadors for both the NC Mountains District and the city of Asheville, providing players with a well-organized community network. Beyond pickleball, the facility features restrooms, a fitness center, and lights — and its kid-friendly programming has drawn enthusiastic families to the building. The combination of new courts, affordable access, extended hours, and active USAPA affiliation makes Stephens-Lee a strong home base for pickleball in western North Carolina.
