About this court

Tucked inside the multi-sport Alverthorpe Park at 483 Forrest Avenue in Elkins Park (Jenkintown), PA, United States, pickleball is offered on 3 outdoor courts lined on the existing tennis courts, open every day of the week from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Access is membership-based and limited to Abington Township residents or those accompanied by a resident, so non-residents should plan accordingly before visiting. Players may also need to bring their own nets, paddles, and balls, making coordination in advance worthwhile — contact Stan Shoemaker at 215-479-0469 for scheduling details. The park holds a 4.5 Google rating across 902 reviews, reflecting broad appreciation for its green space and multi-sport offerings, which include lights, restrooms, a picnic area, and league play opportunities suitable for families. That said, the courts are currently flagged as needing work, and some visitors have noted general maintenance concerns across the park's facilities in recent visits. The pickleball situation here has been in flux — as of early 2022, formal play was still pending a township decision — so confirming current availability before visiting is strongly recommended.
