Ten dedicated outdoor lighted pickleball courts at 252 Clayton Ave, Frankford DE 19945. Free, maintained by First State Pickleball Club in partnership with Indian River School District. Available M-F 4pm-9pm, Sat-Sun 7am-9pm (not during school hours). VERIFIER 2026-07-15: First State Pickleball Club's current live "Places to Play" page confirms these courts are active and open to the public after 4pm weekdays (school not in session). COURT-COUNT CONFLICT: the original 2022 Coastal Point dedication article states "six pickleball courts... two additional courts remain as tennis courts," while FSP's current page says "10 Outdoor Court" — recording both, not picking one (courts may have expanded since 2022, but this isn't confirmed). Free public access confirmed (funded by FSP/Sussex County/State of DE, school district provided land, no fee mentioned). Street address ("252 Clayton Ave, Frankford") could not be independently confirmed on any primary source this pass (FSP page only says "Dagsboro, DE"). A phone number attributed to a club contact could not be independently re-confirmed from the raw page text — not written to the phone field. Six-field gate not met.
The exact court count for John M. Clayton Elementary School Pickleball Courts isn't published yet — we're confirming it directly with the venue.
