Lussier Family East YMCA

Court Details

About this court

On Cottage Grove Road in Madison, WI, the Lussier Family East YMCA is a publicly accessible pickleball destination that sits within a full-service community facility — one that also features a pool, sauna, showers, locker rooms, and a fitness center, all under one roof. The site is rated 3.4 out of 5 across 68 Google reviews and is currently categorized as needing work, a detail worth weighing before visiting. Weekday hours are generous, running 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, while Saturday offers 6:00 AM–5:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM–5:00 PM availability. Players note the space tends to be quieter during off-peak hours but can feel crowded during busy periods. The family-friendly, low-key atmosphere is frequently highlighted as a positive, and the kid-friendly designation makes it a viable option for families looking to introduce younger players to pickleball in Madison. Reviewer sentiment is mixed on the overall facility. Some visitors mention cleanliness and maintenance concerns, while others find the equipment and amenities — including the sauna and pool — satisfactory for a community YMCA setting. Staff experiences appear inconsistent across reviews. Given the facility's condition rating and 3.4-star standing, players seeking a well-maintained or premium pickleball environment may want to explore additional Madison, WI options, but those prioritizing broad amenities and public access on a community-oriented campus will find the Lussier Family East YMCA a practical base.
