About this court

Located at 410 Morrill Drive, Carmichael Recreation Center is a public pickleball and multi-sport destination in Raleigh, North Carolina, earning a strong 4.9 Google rating from 57 reviews. Operating on a pay-to-play basis with online booking available, the facility maintains weeknight hours until 11:00 PM Monday through Thursday — a convenient window for after-work players. Friday hours run until 9:00 PM, while weekend access begins at 9:00 AM, closing at 7:00 PM Saturday and 11:00 PM Sunday. The center's condition is rated good, and it pairs its court offerings with a full suite of amenities: a fitness center, pool, and locker rooms. Players report the facility feels spacious and well-renovated, and several visitors highlight the ease of the app-based system for managing court and equipment reservations. The multi-sport setup makes it a practical choice for those looking to combine racket sports with other fitness activities in a single visit. That said, some visitors note the venue draws significant crowds, particularly during peak hours, so arriving during off-peak times is worth considering. A handful of reviewers also mention that available sports equipment — such as rackets — can be limited. Overall, the combination of extended hours, strong public access, and highly rated facilities makes Carmichael Recreation Center a notable option for pickleball in the Raleigh, NC area.
