Clay County Recreation Dept

Court Details

About this court

At 33 Ball Park Dr in Hayesville, NC, Clay County Recreation Dept provides free pickleball across four dedicated outdoor courts and three supplemental indoor courts, serving the western North Carolina community six days a week. The outdoor courts are fenced, lit for evening sessions, and equipped with permanent nets and generous bench seating — players note the wind skirting is properly in place, contributing to a well-organized playing environment. Weekday hours run as late as 8:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with shorter windows on Wednesday and Friday and a Saturday morning session from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The indoor option, located inside a basketball gymnasium with wood floors and portable nets, is generally reserved for rainy days when the outdoor courts are unplayable rather than offered on a regular schedule — worth a call ahead to confirm availability. The facility holds a 4.7 rating across 95 Google reviews, with visitors in the United States and beyond highlighting the clean restrooms, maintained grounds, and the multi-sport nature of the campus, which also includes a fitness center, showers, and locker rooms. As a fully public, no-fee facility in a small-town setting, Clay County Recreation Dept draws consistent praise for the value it delivers. Reviewers point to polite staff and a well-kept overall condition, and the outdoor pickleball courts in particular receive favorable mentions for their setup and upkeep. Those planning a visit should note the facility is closed on Sundays and can contact coordinator Jennifer Reaux for indoor court scheduling details.

Notes

Contact: Jennifer Reaux Phone: 561-756-4349 Schedule: MTWThFSSu 7:30am-Dusk(Outdoors) Call for indoor schedule Fee: none. Four nice outdoor courts with dedicated nets and plenty of benches for seating. A nice setup and nice courts. The indoor courts are really inside an indoor basketball court with wood floors. A nice set up but the nets are portable and are not set up for play unless it is raining outside and the outdoor pickleball courts are unplayable. Meaning they don’t use the basketball courts for pickleball very often.
