Phil Hoel Park

Court Details

About this court

Located at 91st Street and Chicago Avenue in Lubbock, TX, Phil Hoel Park provides free public pickleball access every day of the week from 5:00 AM to midnight — a schedule that accommodates early risers and evening players alike. The park holds a solid 4.5-star Google rating based on 252 reviews, reflecting consistent visitor satisfaction across seasons. Tagged as covered, kid friendly, and dog friendly, it offers a picnic area that makes it easy to extend a visit well beyond court time. Players note that the park has a calm, neighborhood feel, with a walking path that draws regular foot traffic and covered tables and benches providing shade for those waiting to play or watching others. Doggie waste stations are on-site, and visitors with children appreciate how close the playground sits to the rest of the park's activity areas — easy to supervise while staying active. The setting adds extra character: a fishing pond with year-round waterfowl — ducks, geese, and occasional herons — gives Phil Hoel Park a serene backdrop uncommon for a free urban court location in the United States. Whether you're a Lubbock local fitting in a morning pickleball session or a visitor looking for a no-cost, family-inclusive spot, this park's combination of long daily hours, covered amenities, and a highly rated community atmosphere makes it worth adding to your list.
