Timrod Park

Free pickleball in Florence, SC doesn't get much more established than Timrod Park, where 7 public outdoor courts sit inside an 18-acre green space rated 4.4 by more than 1,100 reviewers. Courts are in good condition, and the Pee Dee Picklers Pickleball Club runs a structured open-play schedule — Saturday at 10am, Sunday at 2pm, Tuesday at 6pm, and Thursday at 5pm — with no fee to participate. Beyond pickleball, the park includes a playground, picnic area, and restrooms, and players note the mature trees and natural surroundings add a pleasant backdrop to sessions. Visitors mention the park suits families well, though some reviewers flag inconsistent restroom availability on weekends. For scheduling details, the club can be reached by email or through their Facebook page.
