About this place
Six courts dedicated to pickleball in a community park by the Havelock neighbourhood in north-east Lincoln. The City's Tennis and Pickleball page lists Ballard under "Dedicated Pickleball Courts" and says, in as many words, "Includes six courts dedicated to pickleball play." At Ballard the net is at pickleball height and the only lines on the court are the ones you want.

The park is 9.1 acres, a community park with a rentable ballfield and a swimming pool. It is open 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days a week. Lincoln publishes park hours, which most operators in this directory do not.
One caveat. Ballard's page in Parks A to Z never mentions pickleball. Its Features list reads "Ball Diamond Rentable, Basketball Court, Drinking Fountain, Playground Equipment, Swimming Pool, Tennis Courts". So the six dedicated courts are stated on one City page and not on the other. Nothing contradicts the count.
Getting there
3901 N 66th St., Lincoln, NE 68507, matched by the Census address geocoder to Lincoln city, Lancaster County. The Tennis and Pickleball page prints the address as "3901 N 66th"; the park's own page gives the fuller form with the postcode.
This is a suburban park in the north-east of the city, near Havelock. The City publishes nothing about parking here, so treat it as street parking until you see otherwise.
What to expect
Six pickleball courts and no tennis players to negotiate with, which at most venues in this directory is not an option. Open from 5:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m., though nothing is published about lighting, so the useful end of that window is whenever the light goes.
The City states that Pickleball Lincoln, Inc. organises and schedules pickleball programming at Ballard among six other parks, and that the public is welcome to participate. The reservation the City describes applies to dual-use courts; every court here is dedicated, so a scheduled session changes who is playing rather than whether pickleball is possible. Nets, surface and cost are not published, and neither is a restroom.

- Six courts dedicated to pickleball, not striped onto tennis but pickleball courts, which in this directory is still the exception rather than the rule. The park is open 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. every day. One thing to know before you go, and it is the City's own doing rather than ours: the park's page in Parks A to Z never mentions pickleball at all. Its Features list reads "Tennis Courts", and the six dedicated courts appear only on the City's Tennis and Pickleball page. Nothing contradicts the count; it is simply stated once rather than twice. Pickleball Lincoln, Inc. schedules programming here, and the City says the public is welcome to join it.

Questions about Ballard Park
What are the hours?
5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., all seven days, from the Hours block on the park's own page.
Are the courts lit?
Not stated. The City states hours that run to 11:00 p.m. and says nothing about lighting at any Lincoln court. Hours are not lights.
Is it free?
Not stated. The City publishes no cost for any outdoor court in Lincoln. These are municipal park courts and are very likely free, but "very likely" is not a published fact.

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.
