Cities / Peninsula / Burlingame
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.
Where to play
Washington Park Courts
Mixed levelsBurlingame'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 levelsA 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 levelsThe 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 levelsTwo 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 levelsBurlingame'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.
- Washington Park's $5 fee applies only to an organized weekday-morning drop-in session — regular walk-up play on the public courts is free.
- Nets are available to borrow at both Washington Park facilities if you don't have your own.
- Bay Club - Broadway Tennis and Pickleball requires membership; it's not a public drop-in option like the four park facilities.
- "Burlingame Country Club" is actually located in Hillsborough, not Burlingame, despite the name — not included here.
