Court Details

About this court

Ratliff Park brings free public pickleball to Lubbock, TX at 5500 50th Street, with lighted, fenced courts available daily from 6:00 AM to midnight — a schedule that accommodates early risers and those looking for an after-work evening game alike. The courts are rated in good condition, and the fencing provides separation from the surrounding road, something players specifically mention appreciating. Rated 4.2 out of 5 across 123 Google reviews, the park earns consistent praise for cleanliness and upkeep. Visitors note the lights make evening play comfortable, and the fenced layout keeps the playing area well-defined. As a multi-sport facility, Ratliff Park also supports basketball, volleyball, and open green space, making it a practical stop for groups with mixed interests. The kid-friendly designation and on-site picnic area mean families can pair a pickleball session with time at the play area or a casual outdoor meal. Located in Lubbock, TX, United States, Ratliff Park is a no-cost, accessible option for players at any level. The park's broad daily hours — running nearly 18 hours every day of the week — remove scheduling barriers that more restricted facilities create. Reviewers do note the park is on the smaller side, so those expecting a large multi-court complex may want to set expectations accordingly, but for a free, well-maintained neighborhood destination with lights and fencing, it covers the essentials reliably.
