Where to play
Alexander Park
Mixed levelsTwo outdoor courts under the same City of Belmont reservation program as Hallmark Park, bookable online at rec.us/alexandercourts or open for walk-up play whenever nothing's reserved. The city lists these as "Tennis Courts," and whether the pickleball lines are dedicated or overlaid on a tennis court isn't yet settled. Rec system hours run 8am–6pm; note that the city's own facility page lists this park's ZIP as 94402, which is actually San Mateo's — that's a typo, the correct ZIP is Belmont's 94002.
Hallmark Park
Mixed levelsTwo courts with pickleball lines striped onto an existing tennis court, played on a taller tennis net rather than a regulation pickleball net. Unlit, so no evening play. You can reserve here — the live booking calendar at rec.us/hallmarkcourts runs a working reservation system, and it was fully booked the Saturday we checked, with the next opening two days out. Free, with water, a playground, and a jogging track on site, but no restrooms.
- Both parks run through the same City of Belmont reservation system — book Alexander Park at rec.us/alexandercourts, Hallmark Park at rec.us/hallmarkcourts.
- Both are free; walk-up play is available whenever no reservation is active.
- Hallmark Park's courts are unlit, so no evening play there; Alexander Park's lighting isn't documented either way.
- Hallmark books up faster than Alexander — it was fully booked the Saturday this was checked, so reserve ahead if you want a guaranteed spot.
