Dedicated courts for the sport of pickleball were opened at Gatlinburg’s Mynatt Park in Septeber 2022. The courts are located at the Don Watson Tennis Center and parking is available near the facility

The three pickleball courts opened are open for the public to use on a first come, first serve basis, when no organized play is ongoing. No lighting is available at the courts, so play is limited from dawn to dusk.

The pickleball courts were the first courts dedicated to the sole use of pickleball players in Sevier County.
