Dual-use pickleball courts (on tennis/multi-sport surface) at Deacons Walk Park, 9 Ware Road, Newark DE 19711. Confirmed as one of New Castle County's five original pickleball parks (per NCC newsflash, July 2022). Free, first come first served. VERIFIER 2026-07-15: court count (8) confirmed via the county's current official pickleball-locations page, a much stronger current source than the 2022 press release. ADDRESS CONFLICT on the same newcastlede.gov domain: the general facility page gives "9 Ware Road, Newark, DE 19711" (matches prior notes) but the pickleball-specific infographic gives "56 Boyds Valley Drive, Newark" for the same park — recording both, not silently picking one; address field left unset pending resolution (possibly two entrances to one large park). Phone not found court-specific. Six-field gate not met (address unresolved). VERIFIER 2026-07-16: New Castle County's own facility-detail page (newcastlede.gov/facilities/facility/details/Deacons-Walk-Park-65) gives the address as 9 Ware Road, Newark, DE 19711 -- resolving the prior conflict in favor of the county's canonical per-park record over the separate pickleball infographic's alternate address (56 Boyds Valley Dr). Same page also gives a facility phone (302-395-5606, Parks Permits Office) and confirms dawn-to-dusk hours. Combined with the 2026-07-15 confirmations (court_count=8 via the county pickleball facility list; free/first-come-first-served via CivicAlert 2231), all six required fields are now primary-source confirmed. Flipping to verified.
