Tampa, FL Pickleball: The City's Open Play Schedule, Court by Court

The City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department runs pickleball at 20 locations: 14 outdoor and 6 indoor. Here is what its pickleball page states for each one, read line by line on September 30, 2026.

Barksdale is an indoor, one-court center

At 1801 N Lincoln Ave, the David M Barksdale Center runs pickleball on a single indoor court with a set weekly schedule: free beginner lessons Monday from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., open play Monday from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m., and open play Tuesday through Friday from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m.

Two Forest Hills facilities, one printed address

The city's page lists the indoor Forest Hills Community Center at 724 W 109th Ave, the same street address it gives for the outdoor Forest Hills courts. Those are two separate two-court facilities, and the page does not explain the overlap. If you are headed to the indoor courts, call ahead to confirm the location before you drive over.

Before you go

The city's page carries no single last-updated date and several of the indoor schedules reference a summer session, so treat any listed hours as a starting point and call if you are driving across town. Every venue page here shows the date it was checked against the city's page.
