Emeryville has exactly one public pickleball option: the city's ECCL Gymnasium, with 4 indoor courts open just one afternoon a week — Saturdays 12:30–6:30pm only, 18+, registration required. This isn't a drop-in scene.
This program's address is sometimes listed as 1333 Park Ave, but that's actually Emeryville City Hall — the gym itself is at 1100 47th St, inside the Emeryville Center of Community Life, a joint city/school campus. The map pin here is borrowed from the adjacent pool building on the same block, so treat it as approximate. Portable nets and lines go up for scheduled sessions only, not a permanent pickleball setup — and access is registration-gated, not a walk-up game.
