A guide to pickleball in Clarksville

Clarksville has free public courts, three city recreation centers that run indoor open play, a university club, and courts on Fort Campbell for people with base access. The lists below come from the courts and schedules on Vara Performance, so they change as venues and organizers post.

For outdoor play, Swan Lake Tennis Complex has 4 lighted courts with dedicated pickleball lines and permanent nets. It is free to walk on, and you can reserve a court through Clarksville Parks & Recreation ($6 an hour for recreational play, $8 for tournament play). Fredonia Park, run by Montgomery County Parks & Recreation, has 6 outdoor public courts in a park that is open daily from 5am to 10pm.

Indoors, the City of Clarksville runs open play in the gyms at Crow, Kleeman and Burt-Cobb recreation centers (indoor court counts aren't confirmed yet, so they don't appear in the Indoor list below). You need a city recreation center membership (or ask at the front desk about a day pass). Call Parks & Recreation at 931-645-7476 if the number of courts matters to you.

The Austin Peay State University Pickleball Club is for APSU students. The Fort Campbell Tennis Courts (6 outdoor courts with tennis nets) are on post and need a military ID. If your family doesn't have base access, use the public courts in town.
