Big Bear Park

Big Bear Park is a Salt Lake County neighborhood park in the White City area of Sandy, built around a large remodeled playground, a zip line, and the historic white bear statue that gives the park its name. Pickleball is a secondary use here: reviewers describe two tennis/pickleball courts alongside baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a sand volleyball pit, and open grass. This is family-park play, not a dedicated pickleball complex. Expect to share lined courts with tennis players, bring your own net or portable setup if striping requires it, and play among kids, dogs, and pavilion crowds rather than a steady paddle scene.

Reviews describe two courts shared between tennis and pickleball, outdoor and uncovered. The county lists park hours roughly dawn to dusk, around 7:00am to 10:00pm, with no posted court fees and no organized drop-in schedule. Parking is a dedicated lot near the park entrance with ample space. Sports leagues use the fields heavily, so weekends and evenings get busy; the courts themselves draw less traffic than the playground. Restrooms, a drinking fountain, and a covered pavilion are on site. Reservations are handled through Salt Lake County Parks for the pavilion, not the courts.
