Lions Park

Court Details

About this court

Tucked at 516 Dennis Avenue, Lions Park brings free public pickleball to Raleigh, NC as part of one of the city's larger multi-sport community parks, earning a 4.4 rating across 596 Google reviews. Courts are listed in good condition, and the facility is equipped with lights—supporting play through the weekday 9 PM closing time. Hours follow a consistent weekday window of 10 AM to 9 PM, shift to 9 AM–3 PM on Saturdays, and wind down to a 1–6 PM window on Sundays, so planning ahead is worthwhile. Beyond pickleball, the park spans a wide range of amenities including restrooms, a picnic area, and kid-friendly features, which reviewers in the US frequently highlight when describing family visits. Players note the park has a quiet, welcoming feel, and the clean indoor and outdoor facilities draw repeat visitors who appreciate both the free access and the breadth of activity options. The multi-sport layout—shared with baseball fields, basketball courts, a BMX trail, and more—means Lions Park functions as a community hub rather than a dedicated pickleball facility, but the good-condition courts, lighted evenings, and no-cost entry make it a dependable option for Raleigh players looking for accessible court time.
