About this place

Eight lit pickleball courts, the largest set in Irvine, in a community park of approximately 22 acres.

Read moreShow less

The count rests on two City records. The pickleball page reads "eight lit pickleball courts located at Mike Ward Community Park", and the park's own amenity list reads "8 Lighted Pickleball Courts".

The rest of the amenity list describes the company the courts keep: two lighted basketball courts, three lighted racquetball courts, a sand volleyball court, a fitness parcourse, an amphitheatre and three restrooms. Courts #3 and #4 are the reservable pair, priced at $17 an hour for residents and $19 for non-residents. The other six are first come, first served.

The City publishes nothing about parking at this park: no lot, no fee, no permit. There are three restrooms and two drinking fountains in the amenity list. Hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily.

What to expect

Eight lit courts, open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. They run under two sets of rules at once.

Six are open courts, governed by the City's regulations: "Open courts are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please use the waiting board where available." When others are waiting, doubles has 60 minutes and singles 30, warm-up included, and groups may not camp on a court.

Courts #3 and #4 can be booked online between 7 a.m. and noon and 4 and 10 p.m., in one- or two-hour blocks. When nobody has booked them they "can be used for drop-in play", and a drop-in player must "immediately vacate the court if a reservation holder arrives". Contract instructors teach lessons here, and City programmes take priority over all other use.

No surface, peak times or parking are stated.

What claiming does and does not doShow less

You can claim this listing and correct anything on it. To be clear about what claiming does and does not do: it gives you control of your own facts and a channel to reach us, and it is shown on the page as confirmed by the venue with the date you confirmed it.

It does not mark the listing verified, because a claim tells us who you are rather than checking what is here, and those are different things. It also buys no ranking, no sorting and no placement advantage over an unclaimed venue. The moment claiming bought position this would be an advertising product rather than a directory, and the whole promise would be gone.
