Pickleball Courts in Hillsborough County, FL

One city in Hillsborough County is published here: Tampa, with sixteen venues and fifty-two courts checked against the City's own pickleball page. Forty-five of those courts are outdoors and seven are inside community centres.

Nothing else in the county has been read. Temple Terrace and Plant City are municipalities with parks departments of their own, and the county government runs a parks department too. None of the three has been checked against a named source, so this page does not characterise them.

What the City of Tampa writes down is a count, an address and an indoor or outdoor label for every venue, hours for three outdoor venues, and a session schedule for every indoor one. It states nothing about lighting, price or surface anywhere.

Three Tampa venues are named on the city page but not published here, because their addresses do not resolve. Rowlett Park has eight courts, tied for the largest count in the city. Foster Park has two. The Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Complex has two indoor courts. Between them they hold twelve courts.

What we cover sits in one city and, within it, across sixteen separate sites rather than one complex. Macfarlane Park holds eight outdoor courts, the largest published set. Cuscaden Park and Julian B Lane Riverfront Park hold six each, though Julian B Lane's six is "2 permanent courts" and "4 portable net courts" in the City's words. Five venues hold four. The rest hold one or two.

Seven courts sit in community-centre buildings under the City's "Indoor Pickleball" heading: two each at Forest Hills and Loretta Ingraham, one each at Barksdale, Cordelia B Hunt and Port Tampa. That indoor seven is the county's distinctive number: Tampa has more published indoor venues than most cities on this site, though Denver and Wichita both have more, and it is one of the largest cities on the site where the operator states indoor or outdoor for every venue it publishes.

The two halves are documented in opposite ways. Most outdoor parks carry a count and an address and nothing more, and nine of twelve state no hours. Every indoor centre carries a session schedule and a phone number from the City's recreation-centres list. Only one outdoor session is scheduled anywhere: Cuscaden Park's "Senior open play Wed 9-11 am".

This is a Tampa page under a county heading, and the gap will not close by accident. Temple Terrace, Plant City and the county's own parks department have not been read, and nothing here says whether any of them would clear the threshold of three venues with a named source and a date.

Inside Tampa the gaps are of two kinds. The first is the three refused venues, twelve courts between them, absent for want of an address that resolves as the City writes it. The Census geocoder answered Foster Park's "4700 S Clark Ave." with North Clark Avenue in a different postcode.

The second is silence inside the venues that are published. The City states no lighting at sixteen venues, no price for fifty-two courts, no surface anywhere, and hours at only three outdoor sites. Every indoor schedule carries dates with no year on a page dated 28 October 2025, and one court was "closed for repairs through June 1" of a June the City does not name.
