Free to play
Level: All levels, beginner–4.5
Hours: organized play Fri 3–7pm, Sat–Sun 10am–3pm
Richmond's only real free public pickleball venue — which makes it consistently busy, with 60–100 players showing up for Friday and weekend sessions. Six courts total: two have permanent dedicated pickleball nets, the other four are multi-use tennis courts with portable nets available from an on-site lockbox. East Bay Pickleball Association founder Darlene Rios Drapkin fundraised to resurface and stripe the courts, with a ribbon-cutting in June 2023; a free introductory clinic runs the first Saturday of the month at 1pm,. Free to play, with a $5 suggested donation.
