Southfork Park sits just off Bangerter Highway in Draper, a city park better known to many families for its softball fields, unique farm-themed playground, and grassy hills for spreading a blanket. For paddle players, the draw is a bank of dedicated outdoor pickleball courts set behind the main park along the same road. A 2023 city expansion doubled the original six courts, and a 2024 review counts twelve. Reviewers describe the courts as clean, well kept, and fitted with wind guards, benches, and shade. Strong evening lighting comes up repeatedly, which makes this a reliable option for play well after sunset.
Players report twelve dedicated outdoor courts following the 2023 expansion, equipped with wind guards, benches, and shade. The courts are lighted for night play. Access is free and first come, first served, with no reservations taken. Reviewers note tournaments and practices on Mondays, with open public play other days. The courts are located behind the main park, further along the same road. Parking is on both the north and south sides, and there are public restrooms, though a couple of reviewers flag restroom upkeep. Park hours run 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
