About this venue
Rome-Floyd Parks & Recreation facility (Thornton Center / North Floyd Park, 102 North Floyd Park Rd). Northwest Georgia News reported Thornton Recreation Center as one of Rome's pickleball venues amid conversion of local tennis courts for pickleball. The Rome-Floyd Parks (rfpra.com/thornton) and romegeorgia.org facility pages list a gymnasium and ball fields but do not itemize pickleball courts, so court count is unconfirmed. Verify count/environment (aggregators claim outdoor courts).
