Tips for Seattle Pickleball Courts
Reservations for pickleball courts cost the same as tennis — $10/hour, bookable up to two weeks in advance. Same-day bookings are not allowed. Drop-in play is free on unreserved courts.
Magnolia Playfield is the most popular outdoor pickleball spot in Seattle. Reserve well ahead for weekend mornings and afternoons during good weather.
All Seattle Parks outdoor pickleball courts are currently dual-striped courts — they share the tennis court lines. Look for courts with moveable nets in place.
Several Seattle Parks community centers, including International District, Loyal Heights, and Ravenna, offer drop-in indoor pickleball hours.
Seattle Parks is in the planning phase for additional dedicated pickleball facilities at Genesee and Magnuson parks. More courts are expected to come online in coming years.
The Seattle Parks pickleball guide cross-references with tennis courts — many pickleball courts are also listed under tennis, since they share the same surface.
