Wardle Family YMCA

Court Details

About this court

At 1801 Richmond Avenue in Port Royal, South Carolina, the Wardle Family YMCA offers pickleball in a publicly accessible, multi-sport setting that carries a solid 4.4-star rating from 38 Google reviews. The courts are noted to be in good condition, and the facility supports both drop-in play and structured lessons — a practical setup for players at any level. Pay-to-play access applies, so budgeting ahead is worthwhile before your first visit. The weekly schedule runs Monday through Thursday from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Friday from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 PM — giving players a broad range of times to get on the court. Players note the pickleball group has a fun, social atmosphere, and the surrounding amenities — including a pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness center, and locker rooms — make it easy to build a full workout around court time. The YMCA is also notably kid-friendly, with childcare on site and a multi-sport environment that keeps the facility active and community-oriented. Visitors mention the staff tend to be friendly and welcoming, and the facility covers a wide range of programming beyond pickleball. Some reviewers have flagged occasional parking constraints and locker room wait times during busy periods, so arriving a few minutes early on peak days is a reasonable approach.
