Harvey John & Lucille Taylor Memorial Park

Court Details

About this court

Harvey John & Lucille Taylor Memorial Park brings pickleball to Middleton, Wisconsin with eight public courts that are free to play and open daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM — one of the more generous access windows among parks in the greater Madison area. Holding a 4.9 Google rating across 11 reviews, the park earns consistently high marks for its well-kept courts and broader amenities. Players note that the courts are in good condition with minimal cracking, and fencing separates the eight courts into two clusters of four, though no individual dividers exist between courts within each cluster. It is also worth noting there are no court lights, so evening play depends on natural light. The courts tend to draw smaller crowds than comparable Madison-area locations, which players find appealing during peak hours. Beyond pickleball, the park functions as a full multi-sport and family destination in Middleton, WI. A basketball court, open green space, and a well-maintained playground with recently updated equipment round out the recreational offerings. The on-site pavilion features a small kitchen area and clean restrooms, and the shelter can be reserved through the Middleton Parks and Recreation Department for events or group gatherings. Visitors frequently mention the park's clean, well-maintained facilities as a standout quality, making it a practical option for both casual pickleball sessions and family outings.
