Mann’s teen pickleball session is one of three separately listed age-designated windows on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026. It runs from 11 a.m. to noon, between youth play and a longer adult session.
A distinct hour in the day’s schedule
The youth session is listed for 10 to 11 a.m.; the teen session follows from 11 a.m. to noon, and adult play is scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. Each has its own listing. The neighboring windows make the age designation worth checking when choosing a time; the schedule does not describe one continuous drop-in session.

Mann Park’s name connects back to Hegewisch
The park sits in Hegewisch, a community whose civic groups sought a neighborhood park in the early 20th century. The South Park Commission acquired the site in 1908, after local advocacy the previous year. It was first called Hegewisch Park and took the Mann name in 1922.
James R. Mann (1856–1922) was a member of the U.S. House from 1897 through 1922, the year he died. Before entering Congress, he worked as an attorney for the South Park Commission.
