Pickleball Courts in Long Beach, CA

Long Beach publishes nothing about parking at any of these eight venues. The word does not appear on the City's pickleball page and it does not appear on any of the six park pages that exist. Junipero Beach and Bayshore Park have no directory page at all.

Restrooms are stated at DeForest, Silverado, Veterans and El Dorado Park West, and at Marina Vista only in its history. Elsewhere the City lists none, which is a silence rather than a no.

The pickleball page places Marina Vista Park at "Colorado St. & Santiago"; the park's own page gives "5355 Eliot St.", which is the address published here. El Dorado Park West and the El Dorado Park Tennis & Pickleball Center share 2800 Studebaker Road and are two different sets of courts under two different rules.

The City publishes one rule for timing, on its pickleball page: "NO reservations at this time. All courts (except those at Billy Jean King and El Dorado Tennis Center) are first-come, first-served and court signage regarding shared use must be observed." Twenty-five of the forty-eight courts are shared with something else, and on those the signage settles who plays.

Hours are stated at two venues. DeForest Park's page reads "Park Hours: Dawn to Dusk". The El Dorado Park Tennis & Pickleball Center opens 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at weekends. Its pickleball drop-in, as the page stood when read, ran "Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8 to 11 am, and Friday evenings from 6 to 9pm".

Lighting is stated at one venue, the tennis centre's "8 Pickleball Courts, Fully Lighted". Nothing is published about when any court is busy.

The City names no surface for any pickleball court in Long Beach and says nothing about nets. What it writes instead is on every line. Long Beach is one of the few operators on this site that writes "dedicated" or "dual-striped" against every venue it lists.

Read line by line, the dedicated courts are eight at DeForest Park, four each at Silverado Park, Veterans Park and Marina Vista Park, two at Junipero Beach and one at Bayshore Park, twenty-three in all. The City's own sentence at the top of the page says "Currently there are 24 dedicated pickleball courts in Long Beach", one more than its list adds to. This page publishes the list rather than the total.

At Junipero Beach the two dedicated courts sit "on repurposed half basketball court".

Forty-eight courts across eight City venues, twenty-three of them dedicated on the City's own per-venue wording. Long Beach is the third California city on this site, after Irvine and Huntington Beach, and the first in Los Angeles County.

Price appears once. The tennis centre is priced: "$5 per person for drop-in play (up to three hours), while private pickleball court reservations are $10 per court per hour". The El Dorado centre is the first venue on this site priced per person for drop-in pickleball with a separate per-court reservation rate, and the City applies the same rates to both of its tennis centres.
