Court Details

About this court

Hoover Park brings free, accessible pickleball to Salem, Oregon, with 2 public outdoor courts situated on converted tennis surfaces at 1250 Savage Road NE. The pickleball lines — added in August 2011 — are painted in yellow over the existing tennis court layout, and nets are adjusted to the regulation 34" pickleball height. Courts are rated in good condition and are open every day of the week from 7:20 AM to 6:30 PM, making them easy to fit into a regular routine without fees or advance reservations. As a multi-sport park, Hoover Park goes well beyond pickleball. Players note the site also supports basketball and other activities, and the grounds are tagged as kid-friendly and dog-friendly — a combination that reviewers appreciate when bringing the whole family. The park holds a 4.2 rating across 108 Google reviews, with visitors mentioning sturdy playground structures and a generally open, spacious atmosphere. Some reviewers do flag limited parking and the lack of visible restroom facilities, worth keeping in mind before heading out. It's worth noting that no organized or regular play groups are established at Hoover Park, so the courts function primarily as drop-in space. For pickleball players in Salem, United States looking for a no-cost, low-barrier outdoor option that doubles as a family outing destination, Hoover Park covers the basics reliably.
