Ramsey’s Central Park courts cater to pickleball enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. To promote fair play, we have some guidelines:

General Use

Usage is first-come, first-served outside of Open Play hours and when courts are not reserved. Please be courteous and limit play to 30 minutes if others are waiting.

Open Play

Open play is from 8 a.m. to noon on weekdays and welcomes players of all skill levels.

Reservations

Courts can be reserved for leagues, classes, and private groups at specific times. During these reserved periods, no other players are allowed to use the courts for safety and to avoid interference. Please check the calendar below for availability and scheduling.

For information on reserving courts for personal use, view our Park Facility Use and Rental Policy here. During designated times, reservations can be made here. 

Private and Group Reservations

Reservations for special events can be made online. Due to high demand, please share the courts whenever possible.

Whether you want to reduce stress after a hard day’s work, try your hand at recreational fishing, or challenge your upper body and burn calories by paddling as fast as you can, Sunfish Lake is the place to be!

The City of Ramsey, in conjunction with grant funding from the Anoka County State Health Improvement Program (SHIP), has installed a self-service canoe and kayak kiosk at Sunfish Lake Park, located at 6330 Sunwood Drive, at the intersection of Sunfish Lake Boulevard NW and Sunwood Drive NW. The kiosk holds two single-person sit-in kayaks and two three-person canoes. Paddles and life vests are also provided.
