Parker Meadows Complex

Court Details

About this court

Nestled in the mountains of Franklin, North Carolina, Parker Meadows Complex provides pickleball enthusiasts with 4 outdoor public courts at 4199 Patton Rd, open around the clock every day of the week at no cost. The courts are rated in good condition and situated within a multi-sport complex that also accommodates baseball, soccer, and basketball. Organized open play is scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays beginning at 9:00 a.m. and running approximately through noon — a program that supports a community of 42 seasonal players, with peak turnout of 18–22 players during spring and summer months and 10–12 during winter. Prospective players should be aware that the courts do not have permanent dedicated nets; portable nets are used, so coordinating with community organizer Jan Sharp at 828-371-0971 before visiting on non-scheduled days is recommended. With a 4.7-star Google rating earned across 207 reviews, Parker Meadows reflects broad community appreciation for the United States park's upkeep and welcoming environment. Visitors frequently mention the clean, well-maintained grounds, paved walking trails suitable for dogs even after heavy rain, doggie waste stations, and a playground area for children — all consistent with the facility's Dog Friendly, Kid Friendly, and Free to Play designations. The combination of 24-hour public access, no fees, and a structured weekly play schedule makes Parker Meadows a practical and community-driven destination for pickleball players of varying skill levels in the Franklin, NC area.
