Franklin Park

Court Details

About this court

Situated at 2101 Tieton Dr in Yakima, WA, Franklin Park features 8 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts constructed in July 2019 on resurfaced tennis courts, a project completed largely by volunteers from the Yakima Pickleball Club. The courts are in good condition, lit for evening play, and open to the public every day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM at no charge. With a Google rating of 4.6 across 895 reviews, the facility has built a strong local following across a range of skill levels spanning roughly 3.0 to high 4.0. The Yakima Pickleball Club organizes structured play at the courts for its members, with sessions on select mornings and evenings. Membership runs $30 per year, and during club-organized times non-members may drop in for $3. Outside of club hours, access is entirely free. Visitors mention the courts can be affected by wind, and players new to the club scene note that open play options outside of organized sessions can be harder to navigate. Beyond pickleball, Franklin Park lives up to its multi-sport, family-friendly reputation. The park includes a public pool, kids' playground, picnic shelters, a walking path lined with old-growth trees, and an on-site espresso and bistro offering light food and ice cream. Reviewers highlight the community atmosphere, with families, dog walkers, and tournament participants all sharing the space comfortably. The park has also hosted pickleball tournaments, making it a well-rounded destination for both casual play and competitive events in the Yakima, Washington area.
