Peoples Park

Detroit Lakes, MN's Peoples Park hosts 9 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts at 1310 Phinney Ave, with free public access every day of the week. Organized open play is scheduled Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., and during those hours loaner balls and paddles are available on-site — a convenient option for newcomers or players without gear. All skill levels are welcome. Holding a 4.3 rating across 67 reviews, the park is a family-friendly destination with a picnic area, restrooms, and water on the grounds. Note that the courts have no night lighting, so play is limited to daylight hours. When Minnesota weather turns, indoor courts are available at the DLCCC; visit dlpickleball.com for scheduling details.
