Pleasanton
Pleasanton's pickleball scene centers on Muirwood Community Park — the Tri-Valley's largest dedicated facility — plus a shared-line tennis park, a Saturday-friendly indoor gym, and two private clubs. The Tri-Valley Pickleball Club is a good resource for current schedules and open play.
Where to play
The Tri-Valley's largest dedicated pickleball facility: 6 outdoor courts, free and first-come-first-served. Opened November 2022, it draws 40+ players across all skill and age groups on a typical weekend, with a rotating-court system to keep access fair when full. Positive crowd sentiment despite the Saturday rush.
Four dedicated outdoor concrete courts with permanent lines and nets, run by Lifetime Activities. Free to play — verified Pleasanton residents can reserve up to 8 days ahead, others 7 days ahead; reservations open daily at 12:30pm.
