Six lighted outdoor pickleball courts at the newly opened 14-acre Old Paper Mill Road Park, 240 Old Paper Mill Road, Newark DE 19711. Nets provided; free play. Park also includes multipurpose field, sand volleyball, pavilion, and playground. VERIFIER 2026-07-15: Newark Post confirms the park opened Nov 10, 2025 with "six dedicated [pickleball] courts," quoting Parks Director Paula Ennis. ADDRESS CONFLICT: on-file "240 Old Paper Mill Road" appears (via Yelp/Waze cross-check) to actually correspond to the adjacent Newark Reservoir parking lot, while Waze separately pins "Old Paper Mill Road Park" at 219 Old Paper Mill Rd — no newarkde.gov page states a definitive address, so not writing the address field pending resolution. General Newark Parks & Rec dept phone confirmed (not park-specific). Newark Post describes the courts as "available to the public" but no source explicitly states "free" or gives hours. Six-field gate not met.
