About this place

Four dedicated pickleball courts, lit, in a 26.29-acre park at the north end of King Farm, and the venue where the City holds its social play four mornings a week.

Read moreShow less

The row reads "4 Dedicated Pickleball Courts", Lighted "Yes". The park page says "four lighted pickleball courts" and the accessible-features table "Four accessible pickleball courts."

The park opened in 2008 and is named for Mattie J.T. Stepanek, "a poet and peace advocate". It holds a Peace Garden with a bronze statue of Mattie and his service dog Micah, three outdoor stone chess boards, three lighted tennis courts, two lighted basketball courts and a fenced dog park.

Getting there

1800 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, under the "Address" heading on the park's page; the banner prints only "Rockville, MD", so the Address block is the line to use. The US Census geocoder matched it at house-number level, as written, in the postcode the City prints.

Parking is stated: "Plenty of parking is available for easy access.", with "Eight accessible parking spaces." counted. Restrooms are not in the feature list.

What to expect

Four courts that are pickleball courts whenever you arrive, lit until 10 p.m. The City's rule is dawn to dusk, first come, first served, with "Lighted courts close at 10 p.m."

The social play sessions are the one busy time the City writes down anywhere in Rockville: social play, 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with players rotated so everyone gets on court. If you want a game without bringing three friends, those are the mornings to come; if you want the four courts to yourselves, they are the mornings to skip.

Beyond that, "City recreation programs have priority over the use of the courts". The row says nothing about nets, so no net answer is published. No price is stated and no surface is named.

Four dedicated pickleball courts at Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park in King Farm, lit: "4 Dedicated Pickleball Courts", Lighted "Yes". Courts built for pickleball rather than lines on tennis courts, and the City's row says nothing about nets. Open dawn to dusk, first come, closing at 10 p.m. under the lights; City programs have priority. No price is stated. The City's place page puts the park at 1800 Piccard Drive. The imported dataset carried the park under a King Farm name at the same address with the same four courts, and a second row for the same courts at "Pleasant Drive" with a free price the City does not state; the first is matched and the second stays pending.

Questions about Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park

When is social play?

"10 a.m.-12 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays", in the City's words, with players rotated so everyone gets on court.

Is it free?

Not stated. The City prints no price. An imported record calling these courts free at "Pleasant Drive" is not published because the City does not say so.

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.
