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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
