Schuylkill River Park Pickleball Courts

About this venue

Philadelphia Parks & Recreation courts near the Schuylkill River Trail in Fitler Square / Center City. Reported as 2 outdoor courts with river-trail access and lighted for evening play. Walk-on play free. 2026-07-24: Queried phila.gov's own live Parks & Rec Finder data backend (phl.carto.com) directly for "Schuylkill River Park": site_status = "Open regular schedule", but the official record's own address is "E. Bank/Schuylkill Riv, Pine-Art Museum, Philadelphia, PA 19146" (zip 19146) with phone null -- conflicts with the on-file address (2550 Pine Street, 19103) and phone (215-683-3600, independently confirmed via WebSearch to be PPR's general department line at 1515 Arch St, not facility-specific). Recording both address figures per PRINCIPLES, not resolving. The official record's own description names only walkways/garden/dog-park amenities -- pickleball is not named at all, the weakest-confirmed of the three Philadelphia parks in this batch. 2026-07-31: Directly queried Philadelphia's own facility database (phl.carto.com, ppr_facilities) for 'Schuylkill River Park' — the official facility record for that name is the 26-acre umbrella park (walkways, community garden, dog park, no address better than 'E. Bank/Schuylkill Riv, Pine-Art Museum', no phone), and its own description explicitly states 'The southwest corner of the park houses Markward Playground and Recreation Center' — meaning any actual sport courts in this area belong to the separately-tracked Markward Playground facility record, not to a 'Schuylkill River Park' facility as such. Combined with the standing 07-24 address conflict (on-file 2550 Pine St/19103 vs. the official record's own non-street address) and Markward's own non-corroboration of pickleball (see markward-playground-pickleball-courts, checked same pass), this record looks increasingly like a duplicate/misattribution of Markward's courts under a different park name rather than a genuinely distinct site.
