SurfaceMedium — categorized as tennis courts under the same program as Hallmark Park; whether the pickleball lines are dedicated or overlaid isn't yet settled

WeatherMild hill-town climate — less fog-prone than the coast, warm dry summers
WaitLow — had an open Saturday slot when checked, less contested than Hallmark Park the same day

Two 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

2599 Hallmark Dr, Belmont, CA 94002 Directions →
2 courts Level: Not specified Hours: 8am–6pm daily
SurfaceMedium — pickleball lines overlaid on an existing tennis court, with a taller tennis net rather than a regulation pickleball net
LevelNot specified
WeatherMild hill-town climate — less fog-prone than the coast, warm dry summers
WaitHigh — fully booked the Saturday we checked, next opening two days out; two regular groups play here

Two 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.
