Unlock a World of Sports and Connection at Dunkirk District Park

Tennis and Pickleball Courts Galore

The court complex at Dunkirk District Park is a haven for sports enthusiasts. It features an impressive five tennis courts and eight pickleball courts, providing ample space for players of all levels. The well-lit courts ensure that games can be enjoyed even after sunset, while the restrooms and additional parking make for a convenient experience. As Bob Branham, director of Calvert County Parks & Recreation, aptly puts it, "With this complex, we're adding more than just courts; we're adding a place for connection and wellness."

These new courts offer a dedicated space for tennis and pickleball players to hone their skills and engage in friendly competitions. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's a court here for you.

The addition of these courts also reflects the county's commitment to promoting physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. It provides an opportunity for residents to come together and enjoy the benefits of sports.

Open for Business - First-Come, First-Served

Three of the new tennis courts and four pickleball courts are already open and ready for use. Players can take advantage of this on a first-come, first-served basis, adding an element of excitement and spontaneity to their sports experiences.

However, it's important to note that the new multiuse courts require some additional curing time. These courts will be available for use in January 2025, giving them the time they need to reach their full potential.

In the meantime, players can make reservations by emailing [email protected] or contacting the Sports, Community & Well-Being Office at 410-535-1600, ext. 2227 or ext. 2229. The office is open from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to assist with reservation inquiries.
