Harvey Park
4301 Harvey Blvd, Pleasant Grove, UT 84062, USAHarvey Park is a newer Cedar Hills park on the Murdock Trail where six pickleball courts sit alongside two tennis courts, basketball courts, ball fields, and a large splash pad. Reviewers describe it as clean and well equipped, with a permanent shaved-ice and smoothie stand, shaded pavilions, and an extensive playground that keeps a wide range of ages busy. The pickleball courts share a busy family destination rather than a quiet dedicated facility, so expect general park traffic alongside play. The recurring complaint is heat: the playground turf and open courts get hot, and there is little shade away from the pavilions.
6 courtsOutdoorFreeDedicatedRating4.6371 reviews
Pleasant Grove pickleball runs on two tracks: free outdoor park courts and the indoor courts at the city rec center. The standout for serious players is Harvey Park, just over the line in Cedar Hills on the Murdock Trail, with six dedicated pickleball courts set among tennis courts, ball fields, and a splash pad. Those six are the only truly dedicated courts in the area; everything else is shared. The Pleasant Grove Recreation Center at 490 South Locust Avenue runs indoor drop-in pickleball, with balls, paddles, and nets provided and staff on hand, which makes it the default winter option and the easiest entry point for newcomers. The catch is seasonal: courts close for weeks during Jr. Jazz basketball season, and players report pickleball is hard to find after noon in winter, so calling ahead matters. On the free outdoor side, Discovery Park added pickleball in a 2022 refurbishment, though its courts share lines with tennis, so expect to coordinate. Cook Family Park folds pickleball into an all-ability complex with a pump track, skate park, and zip lines, which means general family traffic alongside play. Busy windows cluster on weekend mornings across the park courts, partly because the outdoor surfaces run hot with limited shade through summer afternoons. The overall feel is recreational and family-centered rather than competitive: most courts sit inside larger park destinations, so the city reads more as casual neighborhood play than a dedicated-court hub, with Harvey Park as the exception.
