A.E. Finley YMCA

Located in Raleigh, NC, the A.E. Finley YMCA brings pickleball and broader fitness programming to the community at 9216 Baileywick Road. Rated 4.0 across 162 reviews, this public-access, Pay to Play facility maintains good overall condition and opens as early as 5:00 AM Monday through Thursday — well suited for early-morning players and gym-goers alike. Amenities extend well beyond the courts, with a pool, sauna, fitness center, childcare services, and full locker rooms with showers on-site. Players and members note the facility is consistently clean and well-maintained, with particular praise for the quality of the locker rooms and sauna. Hours tighten on weekends — Saturday runs 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM — so planning ahead is worthwhile.
