Where to Play Pickleball in Jamestown
Applied Digital Pickleball Courts
1501 5th Street NE, Jamestown, ND 58401. Six dedicated outdoor courts with permanent lines and nets are located on the TRAC campus beside Meidinger Splash Park. Summer play is free, and the courts can also be reserved for tournaments. Lights, restrooms, parking, nearby concessions, and multiple courts make this Jamestown's main outdoor gathering place.
Two Rivers Activity Center
1501 5th Street NE, Jamestown, ND 58401. TRAC sets up indoor pickleball on its multi-use courts Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. and again from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.; evening play uses the bubble. Nets are available. A daily pass costs $10 for adults, $8 for youth ages 3-21 and seniors 65+, or $25 for a family.
Private court space in the bubble or gym can be reserved for $30.75 per court-hour. The TRAC adult program page lists the current open-play blocks and instruction.
Pickleball Lessons in Jamestown
TRAC offers private and semi-private lessons for adults and youth. One-on-one sessions are tailored to a player's level and goals, while two- and three-player sessions work well for couples, friends, or siblings. Small-group instruction is also available for work teams, families, and school outings.
Lesson registration forms can be submitted at the TRAC front desk or by email to [email protected]; recreation staff then schedules the instructor and court. Additional area instructors appear in the Coaches section.

What Visiting Players Should Know
In summer, go to the Applied Digital courts at 1501 5th Street NE for six free, ready-to-play courts. The same address takes you to TRAC, so weather changes do not require driving across town. Outdoor court access remains free even when the adjacent splash park charges admission.
In cold or windy weather, use TRAC's Tuesday or Thursday 8:30-11:00 a.m. or 6:00-8:30 p.m. open play with a day pass. A group that needs a guaranteed court can reserve one for $30.75 per hour by calling 701-952-8722. Bring clean indoor shoes for TRAC and a paddle and balls for either setting.
