Betty G. Ross Park

Court Details

About this court

Situated at 800 Madison Street, Betty G. Ross Park brings Lincolnton, NC pickleball players six courts in a single public, free-to-access location — two dedicated outdoor courts equipped with lights and four indoor courts within the park's gym. Courts are technically open 24 hours, seven days a week, but indoor play times vary, so calling ahead is recommended. One confirmed recurring session runs every Monday night from 6 to 9 PM, and a regular group is known to gather for early morning outdoor play throughout the summer. The facility holds a 4.2 Google rating across 401 reviews, reflecting a range of experiences. Players note a friendly and welcoming atmosphere on the courts, and visitors mention that the park offers some unexpected amenities for a city park — including a disc golf course, a fishing pier, and river access. Swim lessons are also available on site during summer, reinforcing the park's multi-sport, kid-friendly character. That said, the courts are currently rated as needing work, and some reviewers have raised broader concerns about park upkeep and safety in recent years. Prospective visitors from across the United States and within North Carolina should weigh those factors, particularly for evening visits, and keep an eye on local updates as conditions may change. The lighted dedicated courts and no-cost access remain genuine draws for the local pickleball community.
