Los Gatos

Eight dedicated outdoor courts with permanent lines and nets at this private multi-sport club, just north of Netflix's Los Gatos campus. Access requires a Bay Club membership; the club doesn't publish separate pickleball guest-pass or drop-in pricing online, so call ahead if you're not already a member. General club hours run Mon–Fri 5:30am–10pm and Sat–Sun 6am–9pm, though pickleball-specific programmed hours aren't published separately. Amenities include lights, locker rooms, food, and on-site lessons.

This venue has six lighted outdoor courts with permanent lines and portable nets — you'll still find older listings showing only four, but the count grew as the JCC expanded from just two courts when it opened in 2015. Non-members can buy a 10-visit punchcard for $100, valid six months; clinics run $25–30 and workshops $150–180. Scheduled open play is Tue 8–10am, Thu 4–6pm, Sat 4:30–6:30pm, and Sun 9am–12pm; general facility hours are Mon–Fri 6am–9pm and Sat–Sun 7am–7pm.

Four courts striped onto a single former tennis court in 2018 — the only town-owned, free pickleball courts in Los Gatos, walk-up with no reservations. Bring your own net; there are no lights. This has also been the site of a multi-year noise dispute between players and neighboring residents, including 2025 vandalism (two courts were deliberately oiled) that prompted a $90,000 Town renovation — resurfacing, sound barriers, security cameras, and a time-sensitive locking gate — completed in December 2025. Posted park hours are officially sunrise to one hour after sunset, though you may currently see an 8am opening listed, plausibly tied to the new gate.

Three indoor wood-gym courts, BYO net on permanent lines. You may see a listing claiming three additional outdoor courts at this address, but that doesn't hold up and likely conflates separate school courts, so we count just the three indoor courts. The fee structure is genuinely unresolved: access runs through a $100/year Adult Pickleball Club membership with the Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation Department, and weekend Open Play (Sat/Sun 9am–3pm) is restricted to members — it's unclear whether a true stand-alone drop-in option exists.
