Prater Park

Court Details

About this court

Prater Park offers free outdoor pickleball in Allentown, PA, with two public courts in good condition and a consistent daily schedule running from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week. Lights make evening play possible, and the courts feature painted lines in a multi-sport setting shared with tennis and basketball. The park holds a 4.6 Google rating across 24 reviews, reflecting steady appreciation from regular visitors. Structured play adds extra value for those seeking organized sessions. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 9:00 AM are designated for intermediate and advanced players, coordinated through Parks & Rec contact Jeff Titchenal. Thursday mornings from 9:00 AM to noon host an all-skills group, organized separately — players interested in joining can reach out via text or email to the listed Thursday coordinator. All sessions are free of charge. Beyond the courts, Prater Park includes a picnic area, restrooms, and a playground, and the site is both kid-friendly and dog-friendly. Players note the courts aren't usually crowded and the overall park environment is welcoming for families. One consideration worth flagging: reviewers mention the portable bathroom setup and note that conditions are weather permitting, so it's worth a quick check before heading out. The active Allentown & Macungies Pickleball Group on Facebook is a useful resource for updated schedules and community play announcements.
