Bickley Park is a one-acre neighborhood park in South Salt Lake, a few blocks east of State Street next to the Columbus Community Center. The pickleball is one outdoor sport court tucked alongside a Hedra playground, ping pong tables, cornhole, and an outdoor fitness station donated by AARP. This is a single-court, family-park setting, not a dedicated complex, so expect to share the space with kids and walkers. The city resurfaced the court in 2025, pouring a post-tensioned concrete pad with new pickleball surfacing, athletic equipment, and fencing. Reviews are warm and the grounds run clean, though shade is thin once the summer sun is up.
One outdoor pickleball court, free and open to the public, with no reservation system. Because it is a single court, plan to coordinate games ahead of time or come during off-peak hours. The court got a 2025 rebuild: post-tensioned concrete pad, new surfacing, equipment, and fencing. Parking and ADA access are on site. There are no restrooms at the park itself and very little shade, so bring water on hot afternoons. Park hours run roughly 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily per the city facility page. Address is 2508 South 500 East.
