A farm-themed regional park on Draper's east bench, where six pickleball courts sit alongside a barnyard playground, baseball fields, a large pavilion, and walking trails near a creek. The setting is open and scenic, with mountain views and a working farm still in production next door. Players come for courts that reviewers repeatedly describe as clean and well kept, then stay for the family amenities that make this more of a community hub than a dedicated racquet facility. Reviews run strongly positive across 186 ratings, and the pickleball mentions point to courts that are busy but rarely crowded enough to feel like a fight for a spot.
Multiple reviewers count six pickleball courts with nighttime lights, so evening play is possible even though the walking paths go dark after sunset. Courts are outdoor and free to play, first come first served, with no reservations noted. Parking is plentiful, and a business lot to the west of the park adds overflow space. Restrooms with flushing toilets, water fountains, and a large pavilion are on site. The park is at 13965 S Bangerter Pkwy and is open daily 9 AM to 10 PM. Bring repellent in summer, as one reviewer flagged mosquitoes.
