Norman Clayton Park

Court Details

About this court

Norman Clayton Park brings free, public pickleball to Madison, Wisconsin, with 2 outdoor courts striped on shared tennis surfaces at 6401 Shoreham Dr. Courts operate daily from 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM on a first-come, first-served basis — no reservations, no fees — making it an accessible option for players of all schedules across every day of the week. Holding a 4.6 rating from 57 Google reviews, the park earns consistent praise as a relaxed multi-sport neighborhood spot. Visitors note the well-maintained playground (updated with new equipment in 2021), a shaded pavilion with picnic tables, and a water fountain available through the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The park is tagged as dog friendly and kid friendly, and its position along the Greentree walkway corridor connects to the prairie restoration and pond at Elver Park — a detail regulars mention as a bonus for combining play with an outdoor walk. A few practical notes for first-time visitors: there is no dedicated parking lot, though street parking is described as readily available. No restroom facility is on site. The courts themselves are striped tennis courts adapted for pickleball, so players should plan accordingly. For those seeking a low-barrier, no-cost court in Madison, WI, Norman Clayton Park's long daily hours and family-welcoming amenities make it a straightforward neighborhood choice.
