Fairmont Park

Fairmont Park is a 27-acre Sugar House landmark where pickleball is one piece of a dense recreation menu. The city counts six pickleball courts here alongside basketball hoops, volleyball, soccer fields, horseshoes, a skate park, and a stocked fishing pond. The setting is a working neighborhood park, not a dedicated paddle complex, so expect families at the playground, dogs in the off-leash area, and walkers on the paths around the pond. Mature trees, many over 50 years old, shade much of the grounds. Salt Lake City has unveiled a long-term redesign that includes additional pickleball courts, with a first construction phase possibly starting in early 2027.

Six pickleball courts, free to play, with no reservation system, so courts run first come, first served and fill on evenings and weekends. The park sits at roughly 1040 E Sugarmont Dr in Sugar House, with restrooms, drinking water, and a gazebo near the courts. Park hours run 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily. Access is straightforward from I-80 via the 700 East or 1300 East exits, and street parking surrounds the park. Some reviewers note people experiencing homelessness in the park; most report no problems during daytime play.
