Centennial Park

Centennial Park in Cortez, CO is home to six dedicated outdoor pickleball courts that have earned a perfect 5.0 rating from players who consistently praise their condition and upkeep. Built in 2018 with an acrylic-coated concrete surface, the courts are free to play and accessible to the public during park hours. Lights allow for evening sessions, and restrooms and water are available on site. Organized open play is scheduled Tuesday and Thursday evenings during spring, summer, and fall, coordinated through contact James Wheatherill. Players mention the courts are cleaned nearly daily and kept in consistently good shape. The setting adds an extra draw — visitors note that Mesa Verde is visible to the south and the La Plata Mountains to the east when you take your eyes off the ball.
