Lead was filed under "Hoover" but this park is actually in Vestavia Hills (address 2521 Waldridge Road, 35216), a separate suburb already in cities.json. Official Vestavia Hills Parks & Rec page confirms Wald Park "boasts a brand-new dog park, as well as pickleball and tennis courts," distinct from the indoor Civic Center courts (already listed as "Vestavia Hills Civic Center Pickleball" in courts.json). Court count/hours not given on the official page; the official parks-and-rec pickleball program page (vhparksandrec.com/athletic/pickleball/) only documents the Civic Center program, not Wald Park specifically.
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
