About this court
Ephesus Park in Chapel Hill, North Carolina brings free, public pickleball to 1501 Ephesus Church Road on 6 newly resurfaced dedicated courts with painted lines and full stadium lighting. Open every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM — with courts accessible until 10:30 PM — the facility accommodates both early risers and evening players without any admission fee. Restrooms and water are available on-site, making it a practical destination for extended sessions. Holding a 4.4 rating across 73 Google reviews, the park draws steady community interest. Players note the courts are tucked into a wooded area that gives the facility a calm, almost serene atmosphere unusual for an urban park setting. Visitors also mention that the venue's popularity can lead to parking challenges during peak hours — a sign of how quickly the renewed courts have attracted a following. Organized open play is scheduled Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 12 PM, Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM, and Sunday from 6 to 9 PM, giving regulars predictable windows to find games. As a multi-sport public facility, Ephesus Park fits well within Chapel Hill, NC's broader recreational offerings. The combination of new court surfaces, dedicated pickleball lines, night lighting, and no-cost access makes it a well-rounded option for players at any level.
