Court Details

About this court

Free pickleball in Columbia, SC is available at Mays Park, a public multi-sport destination at 1521 Deans Lane where the courts are described as newly done and in excellent condition. The courts use painted lines on a shared multi-sport surface, and since there are no permanent nets installed, players are expected to bring their own — a detail reviewers consistently flag as something to plan for before arriving. Hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM most days of the week, with a slightly later 7:30 AM open on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, giving players plenty of flexibility morning through evening. Holding a 4.4 Google rating across 131 reviews, Mays Park draws consistent praise for its clean grounds, new equipment, and welcoming family environment. Visitors mention that the park caters well to a range of ages, with shaded playground equipment, a splash pad, and a perimeter walking loop complementing the sports courts. The picnic area adds a convenient spot to rest between games, and reviewers note that parking near the courts has recently been improved with a dedicated lot. For families and recreational players seeking a no-cost, well-maintained outdoor space in the Columbia, SC area, Mays Park offers a solid and accessible option.
