Westlake Park Community Center (Pacelli Gym)

3 courts (unsettled — you may see 5) Fee disputed — see below Level: Not specified Hours: Tue/Thu 11am–2pm (reported)

This one venue goes by two names — "Pacelli Event Center" and Westlake Park Community Center (officially "WLCC - Pacelli Gym - Westlake Park" in the city's ActiveCommunities system, facility_id=82) — but it's the same gym. The court count is unsettled: one listing claims 5 courts (2 outdoor + 3 indoor, bring-your-own net), while the more reliable picture is 3 indoor courts with nets provided, which is what we go with here. Pickleball hours are Tuesday/Thursday 11am–2pm at $4/session (contact Terry Chew, 650-270-9028) — separate from a Sunday badminton program at the same gym — though the city's fee schedule lists different citywide drop-in and reservation fees, so confirm the actual price before going.

Indoor / outdoor
Indoor
Surface
Indoor gym courts (hard floor), permanent lines. Pickleheads' 'Pacelli Event Center' listing for this same address describes a different configuration -- 5 total courts (2 outdoor + 3 indoor), hard/asphalt, bring-your-own net -- materially inconsistent with the single indoor-gym framing used everywhere else (see notes).
Price
PicklePlay states a flat $4/session; the City's FY2027 Master Fee Schedule lists a citywide Open Gym Drop-In fee of $6.00 resident/$7.50 non-resident and a separate Court Reservation (Badminton/Pickleball) fee of $20 resident/$25 non-resident per session; Pickleheads' Pacelli Event Center listing says simply free. Three different figures across three source lineages -- confirm the current fee before visiting.
Hours
PicklePlay reports pickleball Tuesday/Thursday 11am-2pm ($4, contact Terry Chew, 650-270-9028); a separate search pass found badminton (a different program) at this same gym on Sundays 2-5pm. Building/rental hours per the City's official facility page: Sun-Thu 7am-11pm, Fri 7am-midnight, Sat 7am-11:59pm. Confirm current pickleball-specific hours via the iplay activity calendar.
