4 dedicated courts
Free walk-up
Level: Not specified
Hours: 8am–10pm daily
Four dedicated outdoor courts with permanent lines and nets, free for walk-up play or reservable ahead for $11/hour resident, $13/hour non-resident (you may still see lower rates quoted from an older fee schedule, so confirm before booking). The city runs Tuesday Outdoor Pickleball Open Play 4–6pm, and BORP hosts a weekly adaptive pickleball program here (Thursdays and Saturdays) open to players of any skill level. It sometimes gets filed under Berkeley, but this is an Albany city park — Buchanan Street runs along the border, which is the likely source of the mixup.

- Price
- Free walk-up (first-come-first-served); reservations $11/hr resident, $13/hr non-resident per court, bookable in 30-minute blocks — per Albany's official Tennis & Pickleball Courts fee page, fetched live for this research. Several third-party aggregators instead cite $10.37/$12.44 or $9.50/$11.50 per hour resident/non-resident — likely stale copies of a prior fiscal year's fee schedule; the live city page is treated as authoritative.
- Hours
- Court hours 8am-10pm daily per the city's Tennis & Pickleball Courts fee page; park gate hours are separately listed as 7am-9pm (Apr 1-Oct 31) / 7am-8pm (Nov 1-Mar 31) on the park's own page — the two published ranges don't fully nest and this wasn't resolved further. Dedicated 'Outdoor Pickleball Open Play' (player-led, no instructor) runs Tuesdays 4-6pm.
