Pickleball Courts
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 to ensure safety and 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.
Court Schedule
View the current pickleball schedule on the calendar, which updates every 24 hours.
There are three designated pickleball courts and two tennis courts, one of which can be converted to pickleball. Use the "Agenda" tab for the most readable schedule format.

Open Pickleball Policies
The City of Ramsey collaborates with the North Star Pickleball Association to establish fair and consistent pickleball policies. All NSPA-sponsored open times will use the "NextUp" paddle rack system for court assignments.
Instructions for using the racks and specific park schedules are posted at the park.
When the courts are full during Open Play, the following policies will be followed:
- Only doubles pickleball will be permitted
- All games will be to 11, win by 2
- All games will start and finish on the same court (no court shuffling)
- When a game is finished, players will leave the court using the nearest exit
- Players MUST place their paddles in the paddle rack to indicate they are ready to play
- Paddles can be placed in the rack, in any open slot, in any order, behind other placed paddles
- Foursomes created behind the next game must wait until the next match is filled and playing
When the courts are not full, or during any other non-posted times, all courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
OPEN PICKLEBALL IS OPEN TO EVERYONE!
