Pickleball Courts

Set within Mitchell Park along Middlefield Road, these dedicated outdoor pickleball courts serve as the central hub for Palo Alto's active racquet community. The setup features acrylic hard courts lined specifically for pickleball, complete with regulation permanent nets and perimeter fencing that keeps errant balls contained. Drop-in open play runs daily, relying on a traditional paddle queue system during peak morning and evening hours. Local players gather here for fast-paced doubles matches, competitive drills, and organized round-robins. The facility operates in coordination with City of Palo Alto recreation programs, providing designated time slots for structured classes alongside open recreational access. Sideline benches provide shaded resting zones between games, while the surrounding park setting keeps the atmosphere energetic and community-focused. Whether you arrive solo to rotate into pickup matches or coordinate a four-player practice session, the courts deliver reliable, well-maintained playing conditions throughout the year.
