A May 2023 Rome Daily Sentinel article quotes the city's recreation coordinator confirming outdoor pickleball courts at Franklyn's Field (alongside Guyer Field and Ridgewood Park/Heights); no court count given. The City of Rome's own page for this playground (which has a clubhouse, ballfield and playground) does not itself mention pickleball.
