Pickleball at Jess Odom

Jess Odom is a recognized Maumelle pickleball location. Court directories identify three indoor pickleball courts and additional outdoor playing areas associated with the facility.

However, the city may assign indoor gym space to basketball, scheduled classes, leagues or other bookings, so pickleball access should not be assumed throughout all building hours.

Before Playing Pickleball

1. Call 501-851-6990 to check the current indoor or outdoor court schedule.
2. Ask whether court access requires a center membership, day pass or separate pickleball registration.
3. Confirm whether nets and other equipment are supplied.
4. Ask whether the session is open play, organized play or a private booking.
5. Check current court capacity and beginner-friendly times.
6. Follow the facility’s footwear and court-use rules.

Programs, Youth Sports & Community Activities

Maumelle Parks and Recreation organizes classes, youth sports and other community programs through its recreation registration system.

The city’s published reports identify offerings such as martial arts and youth art camps. Program availability, instructors, schedules and fees depend on the current season.

How to Register for an Activity

1. Open Maumelle RecDesk. Search the current activity and program listings.
2. Choose the category. Select youth sports, exercise, arts or another appropriate program.
3. Review eligibility. Check age, residency, grade, experience and registration deadlines.
4. Check the location. Not every city program takes place at Jess Odom.
5. Complete registration. Add household information and any required waiver.
6. Pay if applicable. Save the receipt and confirm the first session’s date and time.

Jess Odom Meeting Room Rental Rates

The Maumelle Parks and Recreation facility-rate PDF provides four indoor room categories. Capacities and charges depend on the specific room.

Longer Rental Blocks

These five-hour figures correspond to the listed hourly rate multiplied by five. The official sheet also uses the wording “5 hours +” for longer bookings, so ask how additional time is calculated.

Damage Deposit

A $200 refundable deposit applies to indoor Jess Odom rental facilities. Under the published terms, the city aims to refund it within two weeks after the event when the area is left clean and no unusual incidents or damage occur.

Refunds are issued by city check or returned to the card used for payment, depending on the payment method.

For an explanation of how deposits, capacity, hourly rates and event requirements change total costs, read our community center rental planning guide.

How to Reserve a Room at Jess Odom

Maumelle’s published rental sheet states that reservations are first-come, first-served, require a signed agreement, and cannot be held over the phone.

1. Choose your room. Select South, North, Civic or Conference Room based on capacity and event needs.
2. Check your preferred date. Call 501-851-6990 to ask whether the space is available.
3. Confirm current fees. Ask staff to confirm the facility-rate sheet and all required charges.
4. Prepare event information. State the purpose, estimated attendance, seating layout and setup requirements.

Which Room Is Best for Your Event?

The published capacities are starting limits, not guaranteed seating counts for every arrangement. Tables, food stations, decorations and equipment can reduce usable space.

Questions to Ask Before Paying

• Does the quoted price include setup and cleanup time?
• Are tables and chairs available in the chosen room?
• Is food permitted, and are there restrictions on catering?
• What kitchen equipment is included with the South Room?
• Are decorations, amplified music or outside vendors permitted?
• Are event insurance or additional staff required?
• What is the cancellation or date-change policy?
• How and when is the $200 deposit refunded?

Pool Access: Jess Odom vs. Dowell Naylor Aquatic Center

Some visitors search for Jess Odom Community Center because they want swimming lessons, pool parties or open swimming.

The city’s Dowell Naylor Aquatic Center is a separate outdoor aquatic facility with seasonal operation. Its schedule and admission rules should not be confused with Jess Odom’s indoor gym hours.

The Parks and Recreation facility-rate sheet gives an outdoor pool rental example of $350 for two hours, with staffing and a group-size limit of 50 swimmers before additional charges. Dates depend on the aquatic season.

For an example of a year-round recreation complex that operates pools, courts, fitness and a seasonal waterpark under separate schedules, see our Monon Community Center guide. Its Indiana prices and policies are unrelated to Maumelle.

Directions, Parking & Accessibility

Jess Odom Community Center is located at 1100 Edgewood Drive, Maumelle, AR 72113, in Pulaski County, northwest of Little Rock.

Senior Fitness & Low-Impact Recreation

Older visitors may be interested in walking, fitness equipment, pickleball or group activities. Jess Odom’s municipal recreation offerings can change by season and do not necessarily include the dedicated services of a senior center.

Ask the front desk about age-specific programs, fitness accessibility, quiet recreation periods and any senior discounts before buying a membership.

For meal programs, senior transportation, social groups and aging-related support, our senior community center services guide explains how to find the appropriate local provider.
