About this court

Located at 9611 Westmoreland Rd. in Cornelius, NC, J.V. Washam Recreation Center brings pickleball to a newly built, fully indoor public facility that has earned a 4.8-star rating from 241 Google reviewers. The center houses 2 dedicated courts that are covered and equipped with lighting, making consistent play possible across the facility's broad weekly schedule: Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Access is pay-to-play, with court rental and online booking available — players note that reservations fill quickly and booking as far ahead as one month in advance is practical.

A kid-friendly, multi-sport environment rounds out the experience, and an on-site food and drinks option means visitors can pair court time with a meal.
