Poplar Grove Park

A neighborhood park on Salt Lake City's west side, at 775 S 1200 W, where pickleball has shared space with tennis rather than claiming its own. The city lists the racquet surface as two courts with pickleball lines, so players have set up on overlaid lines using a tennis net that sits taller than a regulation pickleball net. The rest of the park reads as a community gathering spot: a playground, a sand volleyball court, four horseshoe courts, a half basketball court, a reservable pavilion, and a baseball field. Reviews lean toward barbecues and family afternoons, which fits the low-key, multi-use character. A city court project is set to change the pickleball picture here.

Currently two outdoor tennis courts striped with pickleball lines, free to use, no reservation for casual play. There is no listed court lighting, so plan for daylight. The park is open 5 AM to 10 PM daily. A city court replacement project will remove the two failing tennis courts and build one tennis court plus two dedicated pickleball courts, with a fenced full basketball court, ADA parking, and walkways; construction was anticipated for late 2025 into early 2026, so confirm court status before heading over. Restrooms and a drinking fountain are on site near the pavilion.
