Court Details

About this court

In the heart of downtown Fort Worth, TX, the Amon Carter Jr. Downtown YMCA at 512 Lamar Street serves as a community anchor for pickleball and multi-sport recreation. The facility is publicly accessible on a pay-to-play basis and maintains a good court condition rating, supported by weekday hours that begin as early as 5:30 AM — giving early risers consistent access Monday through Friday. Weekend hours run Saturday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 PM. With a Google rating of 4.7 across 265 reviews, the downtown YMCA draws strong marks for its inclusive environment and attentive staff. Players and members alike note the sense of genuine community here — visitors mention that staff make a point of recognizing regulars by name, and that the facility feels more like a neighborhood hub than a standard gym. The amenity package backs that reputation: a pool, hot tub, sauna in both locker rooms, showers, fitness center, and on-site childcare are all on-site, making it a well-rounded destination for families and individual athletes in the US. As a nonprofit with deep roots in the community, the Amon Carter Jr. Downtown YMCA pairs its pickleball and multi-sport offerings with programming that spans fitness, wellness, and family support. The combination of early operating hours, strong amenity access, and a kid-friendly, multi-sport environment positions it as a practical and well-regarded choice for Fort Worth pickleball players seeking a full-service indoor facility.
