About this place
One indoor pickleball court at the David M Barksdale Center in West Tampa, with the City's schedule on the card: "David M Barksdale Center / 1801 N Lincoln Ave., 33606 / 1 court / Monday / 1-3 pm (free beginner lessons) / 3-5:30 pm / Tuesday-Friday, 2-5:30 pm", under the "Indoor Pickleball" heading. The Monday beginner lessons are the only thing the City calls free about pickleball anywhere in Tampa, and they price a lesson rather than a court, so the court itself carries no fee answer here.

The City's recreation-centres list describes the centre as an "Active Older Adult Facility" with a computer lab and a fitness room. That list does not include a gymnasium, and where inside the building the court is set up, the City does not say.
Getting there
1801 N Lincoln Ave, Tampa, FL 33607, and the City prints two postcodes for it. The pickleball page says 33606; the recreation-centres page says 33607; the US Census address geocoder matched "1801 N LINCOLN AVE, TAMPA, FL, 33607" at house-number level, in Hillsborough County inside Tampa city, and agrees with the second. The resolver's postcode publishes and the difference is stated here.
The City publishes nothing about parking. The centre's phone number, 813-348-1180, is on the recreation-centres page.
What to expect
A weekday-afternoon venue: Monday 1 to 3 pm for beginners, then 3 to 5:30, and Tuesday to Friday 2 to 5:30 pm. No evenings, no weekends, on the City's card. With one court and a five-day schedule, this is the Tampa indoor venue with the most stated hours and the fewest courts.
The City describes the building as an older-adult facility, which is a fact about the centre's programme rather than a rule about who may play. Price is not stated for the court; the beginner lesson is stated as free. Surface is not stated. The page is dated 28 October 2025, so ring 813-348-1180 before a first visit.

What claiming does and does not doShow less
You can claim this listing and correct anything on it. To be clear about what claiming does and does not do: it gives you control of your own facts and a channel to reach us, and it is shown on the page as confirmed by the venue with the date you confirmed it.
It does not mark the listing verified, because a claim tells us who you are rather than checking what is here, and those are different things. It also buys no ranking, no sorting and no placement advantage over an unclaimed venue. The moment claiming bought position this would be an advertising product rather than a directory, and the whole promise would be gone.
Something wrong here?
If you play here and this is out of date, tell us. Corrections come with a source and a date attached, the same as everything else, and a correction that changes a court count gets checked against the city record before it goes live.
