Memorial Park is the anchor: free, first-come-first-served outdoor play, with a city-mandated quiet-paddle policy to keep the neighbors sane. Cupertino Sports Center's indoor sessions are a more reliable bet than its outdoor courts, and De Anza College has outdoor courts nearby. Court counts are disputed at more than one venue, so check the notes before expecting a specific number.
Court count is disputed: a places2play listing says 4 courts, while most other sources say 8 — this page treats 4 as the more reliable figure but flags that 8 shows up elsewhere. Nets are portable, set up on existing tennis lines. Free and cannot be reserved. Organized open play runs Tuesdays 10am–1pm; general park pickleball is allowed daylight to 9pm. Quiet-category paddles and balls are requested dawn–9am and 7–9pm.
One indoor and six outdoor courts. The outdoor courts have no scheduled drop-in events, so the indoor sessions are the more reliable option. Drop-in doesn't require booking, but rentals and lessons can be reserved via CourtReserve. Fee is $6 for non-members.

A San José Spotlight report called Cupertino a "pickleball desert" — demand from local players, including the city's large tech workforce, outpaces the courts available for the city's size. Expect fewer options here than elsewhere in the South Bay.
