Bushrod Park runs on an active volunteer-run community. The court count is unsettled — expect 4 permanent courts plus up to 2 more with portable nets, so plan on 4–6. Play is scheduled by skill level, not open access: Beginner/Intermediate Sunday and Monday 4:30–7:30pm, Tuesday/Thursday 7:30–9:30pm; Intermediate 3.0–3.5 Wednesday 10:30am–1:30pm; Beginners Wednesday 5:30–9pm — session windows shift occasionally, so confirm before you go. No reservation needed for general play; a $2–4 drop-in fee covers equipment and maintenance. Courts can also be reserved through the City of Oakland's PerfectMind system.
