Rock Hill opens Bleachery Fieldhouse pickleball to nonresidents

Rock Hill will open Bleachery Fieldhouse pickleball memberships, daily play and related programming to all participants regardless of residency on July 1, 2026, with non-city residents paying more than locals for every major option. City officials still plan to give priority to reserved use, league play and programs when courts are full.

The courts inside Boyd Hill Recreation Center are normally packed, with players waiting on a sign-up sheet to get on a court, and Bleachery Fieldhouse gives Rock Hill a much larger indoor venue. The facility has 12 regulation indoor pickleball courts and opened in December 2025.

Monthly pickleball memberships at Bleachery Fieldhouse are set at $30 for city residents and $60 for non-city residents, while senior monthly memberships are $20 and $40. Annual memberships cost $250 for residents and $500 for non-city residents, with senior annual memberships at $200 and $400. Daily play is $10 for city residents, $20 for non-city residents, $7 for resident seniors and $14 for non-city resident seniors. Court rentals are available to anyone at $60 per hour, and financial assistance is available for those in need.

The nonresident fees follow a dual-fee structure adopted for other Parks, Recreation & Tourism programs on July 1, 2025. Members can reserve courts two days in advance through CourtReserve, and staff will provide a free DUPR rating. Bleachery Fieldhouse is open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with weekend use reserved for tournaments and special events or, on some weekends, pickleball programming.

Justin Rhode is the Bleachery Fieldhouse supervisor, and Donald Medley handles program questions.
