Kingsessing Recreation Center

Court Details

About this court

Set within a sprawling 8.4-acre public park in Philadelphia, PA, Kingsessing Recreation Center offers pickleball on concrete surfaces as part of a broader multi-sport complex at 4901 Kingsessing Avenue. The facility is free to play and open to the public Monday through Friday from 1:30–9:30 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, with the center closed on Sundays. Lights extend usability into the evening hours on weekdays, making it a workable option for players with daytime commitments. The park also features tennis and basketball courts, a pool, ballfields, and a playground, earning it strong kid-friendly and multi-sport tags. With a 4.2 Google rating across 410 reviews, the recreation center draws consistent community use, though players note the courts are in functional rather than pristine shape and could benefit from ongoing maintenance. Visitors mention that the city does conduct periodic cleanup efforts at the site. For Philadelphia, US residents in the Kingsessing neighborhood seeking accessible, no-cost pickleball with evening availability, this publicly run rec center provides a genuinely local option — particularly for those who want a multi-activity outing that can include pool time or playground visits alongside court play.
