Ford Lake Park

Ford Lake Park in Ypsilanti, MI features 6 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts that players describe as being in good shape — minimal cracking and clear of debris, with solid fencing to keep balls contained. Access is public and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. Summer hours run from dawn to 9 PM. Ypsi Township residents benefit from affordable day passes at $10 or a $15 season pass, while anyone arriving by bicycle or on foot plays free whenever the office is closed. Reviewers highlight the welcoming atmosphere, noting that solo players are routinely invited to join groups already on the courts.
