Cities / North Bay / San Rafael
San Rafael
Marin's scene is indoor-first and membership-heavy: Flyte Racquet Club (formerly Marin Indoor Pickleball) has by far the most courts, Pueblo Park is the county's one free dedicated outdoor court, and a handful of smaller options round out the list. Smaller than the South Bay, but easier to book.
Where to play
Flyte Racquet Club
CompetitiveFormerly Marin Indoor Pickleball (est. 2022) at this same address, now Flyte Racquet Club — 23 total pickleball courts, the largest count in the county by a wide margin. Full membership runs $2,500 (individual) or $3,500 (family) initiation, with no court fees and 90 minutes/day per sport. Monthly passes offer a cheaper, lower-commitment way in. It's unclear whether the old pay-per-play, no-membership option survived the rebrand — call ahead to check.
Book via the Flyte app →Pueblo Park
Mixed levelsMarin County's first outdoor court built specifically for pickleball — one court, no formal booking system. You'll need to round up your own foursome; regular play often lands Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings 8–9am. Free, but expect to coordinate rather than just show up.
2 outdoor courts in San Rafael. Unclear if walk-up happens outside the organized session window.

Albert J. Boro Community Center
Mixed levelsThree courts taped onto the gym floor at the Boro Community Center in the Canal, with portable nets. Drop-in play runs Tuesdays and Fridays, 10:30am to 1pm, at $5 per player, per day — no membership, no booking. Two windows a week is the catch; inside them, this is the most accessible indoor pickleball in San Rafael.
Good to know
Marin's scene is small and membership-heavy compared to the South Bay or Peninsula, but that makes a same-week reservation realistic here — often not the case in San Jose or Palo Alto. The Albert J. Boro Community Center's indoor drop-in program was discontinued in March 2024; don't plan around it.
- Flyte Racquet Club and Marin Indoor Pickleball are the same location under different branding — don't search for both separately.
- Pueblo Park requires rounding up your own group; it isn't a reliable walk-up option.
- Court counts and access rules at the smaller venues above aren't independently reconfirmed — call ahead before a special trip.
