Hillcrest Park Pickleball Courts
The Hillcrest Park pickleball courts are the dedicated court cluster within Orem's newly-renovated Hillcrest Park on the east bench. The courts are less than a year old, well lit for evening play, and run by Orem Recreation through an online reservation system. Reviewers are split: the courts themselves are described as really nice, but the reservation requirement draws mixed reactions from drop-in players used to taxpayer-funded public courts being first-come, first-served. Lights stay on until 10:30 PM.
Practical notes
Courts must be reserved through Orem Rec online, which is convenient if you're booking ahead but a frustration for casual drop-in players. Reviewers note the courts can get busy when reservations stack up, and there is no sun shade on the courts, so summer afternoons can be brutal. Lights operate until 10:30 PM. No tennis courts share this surface. Bathrooms, splash pad, and other Hillcrest Park amenities are within walking distance.
What locals say
"Pickle ball anyone? This is the place. Well lit, new courts (less than a year old) Can ply until 10:30 at night. You must reserve through Orem Rec, but the process is easy."
"Not sure why you need a smart phone or computer to use a taxpayer funded public property…they're nice."
"Good place for a community games. Like the lights. Wish there were shades for summer."
