Pickleball in Bridgeport, West Virginia

Bridgeport has eight free dedicated outdoor courts at Deegan and Hinkle Lakes Park and a large indoor setup at The Bridge Sports Complex. The city reserves the outdoor courts for adult open play Monday from 9:00 to 11:00 AM and Tuesday from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.

The outdoor sessions are the first choice for beginners and solo visitors because they provide a scheduled rotation without a fee. The Bridge supplies an indoor alternative for members and day visitors when weather or winter conditions limit park play.
