Burlingame

Burlingame runs four free public pickleball facilities across three parks — Washington Park alone has two separately bookable facilities — plus one membership-required indoor club at Bay Club Broadway. None of the park courts take reservations for casual play, so arrival time matters more than planning ahead.

Washington Park Courts

Mixed levels
850 Burlingame Ave, Burlingame, CA 94010 Directions →
8 courts (4 dedicated + 4 shared) Level: Not specified Hours: Sunrise–10pm daily
SurfaceMedium — 4 dedicated courts on Court 1, plus Courts 2–3 double-striped on shared tennis courts
LevelNot specified
WeatherMild, occasional morning fog and afternoon bay breeze — flat bayfront city
WaitMedium — Burlingame's biggest pickleball venue by court count, so expect more players than the smaller parks

Burlingame's main pickleball complex: four dedicated courts with permanent lines and nets on Court 1, plus two more courts (2 and 3) double-striped onto the shared tennis courts. Free, open sunrise to 10pm with lights included at no charge — though you may see 7am–8pm listed elsewhere, worth confirming if you're headed out early or late. A $5 fee shows up in some listings, but it applies only to an organized weekday-morning drop-in session, not general walk-up play. Nets are available to borrow.

Washington Park Sports Court

Mixed levels
850 Burlingame Ave, Burlingame, CA 94010 Directions →
3 courts (shared with basketball) Level: Not specified Hours: Sunrise–9pm daily
SurfaceMedium — shared multi-sport slab striped for pickleball, alongside a full basketball court
LevelNot specified
WeatherMild, occasional morning fog and afternoon bay breeze — flat bayfront city
WaitLow — smaller sub-facility next door, easy to miss

A separate reservable facility from Washington Park Courts despite sharing the same park and address — three courts striped onto a multi-sport slab alongside a full basketball court. Free, sunrise to 9pm, with lights included. It's easy to miss — it often gets folded into the main tennis complex rather than listed as its own facility.

Ray Park Courts

Mixed levels
1525 Balboa Way, Burlingame, CA 94010 Directions →
2 courts Level: Not specified Hours: Sunrise–sunset daily
SurfaceMedium — striped onto a shared tennis court with portable nets
LevelNot specified
WeatherMild, occasional morning fog and afternoon bay breeze — flat bayfront city
WaitLow — newer, smaller 2-court facility, less prominent than Washington Park

The newest pickleball courts in Burlingame: two courts striped onto one of Ray Park's two tennis courts, with portable nets. Free, sunrise to sunset, no lights. Restrooms, parking, and picnic tables are on-site.

Laguna Park Tennis Courts

Mixed levels
1414 Laguna Avenue, Burlingame, CA 94010 Directions →
2 courts Level: Not specified Hours: Sunrise–sunset daily
SurfaceMedium — shared tennis courts, net height adjusted for pickleball via a Velcro strap rather than a dedicated net
LevelNot specified
WeatherMild, occasional morning fog and afternoon bay breeze — flat bayfront city
WaitLow — small, no-lights facility, quieter than the main city courts

Two tennis courts, each striped for a single pickleball court, with the existing tennis net doing double duty via a Velcro height-adjustment strap rather than a dedicated pickleball net. Free, sunrise to sunset, no lights, with no shade or restrooms on-site. The address is written inconsistently — 1414 vs. 1416 Laguna, Street vs. Avenue — worth double-checking against the city's live page, though the coordinates land in the same spot either way.

Bay Club - Broadway Tennis and Pickleball

Mixed levels
60 Edwards Ct, Burlingame, CA 94010 Directions →
6 dedicated courts Level: Not specified Hours: Mon–Fri 7am–9pm, Sat–Sun 7am–8pm
SurfaceHigh — 6 dedicated indoor courts with permanent lines and nets
LevelNot specified
WeatherIndoors — no weather factor
WaitLow — membership-gated club court, no public drop-in crowding

Burlingame's only indoor option: six dedicated courts with permanent lines and nets under championship lighting. Membership required — this isn't a public drop-in venue like the four park facilities. Posted hours are Mon–Fri 7am–9pm and weekends 7am–8pm, though you may see a 10pm weekday close listed elsewhere, so it's worth confirming directly with the club. Amenities include locker rooms, lessons, and food service.
