2 outdoor tennis courts also lined for pickleball at Rick Boals Park (formerly South Karen Acres Park), near 77th Street and Roseland Drive, Urbandale. Free, open to the public; reservations not accepted; limit open play to 1 hour if others are waiting. Confirmed via the City of Urbandale's official parks facility page and its Tennis & Pickleball Courts program page -- the park was renamed Rick Boals Park, which resolves the prior DATA INTEGRITY FLAG (the venue wasn't removed, just renamed). Exact street address and phone still unconfirmed; six-field gate not yet met.
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
