Pickleball Courts in Kirkland, WA

Best if you want the newest courts in the city

Peter Kirk Park has six dedicated pickleball courts that opened on 2 July 2026, converted from the park's tennis courts that April. Three are open play and three are timed at 30 minutes when people are waiting. It is next to downtown, the transit centre and the library, with a year-round restroom and public Wi-Fi, and it is open 8 a.m. to dusk daily.

Best if you are driving

Everest Park has three pickleball courts and, unusually, a stated car park: the City says there are two lots with space for up to 100 vehicles. Add year-round restrooms replaced in 2026, ballfields, a playground and a picnic shelter. All three courts are open play, drop-in only, 8 a.m. to dusk.

Best for a quick hit, not a rotation

Feriton Spur Park has one court. The City describes it as "a 44-foot pickleball court", which is the regulation length of exactly one. The park was rebuilt by Google and SRM Development in 2021-2022 and carries a paved trail, an urban farm, a splash area, a zip-line and year-round bathrooms. One court means one game.

Parking

This is the best-documented parking of any city on this site, and it is documented because Kirkland chose to write it down rather than because anything here was worked out. Everest Park states it outright: "There are two parking lots at Everest with space for up to 100 vehicles." Peter Kirk Park sits against downtown, and the City directs you to "the Municipal Parking Garage or along Central Way" rather than to a lot of its own. Feriton Spur Park lists a parking lot among its amenities without sizing it.

When to turn up

The City publishes no crowd estimates. What it publishes is the rule it enforces when courts fill. At Everest Park and on three of Peter Kirk's six courts, the posted rule is one game to 11 points and then rotate off if players are waiting. On the other three Peter Kirk courts, the rule is a 30-minute limit and then rotate. No Kirkland page names a busy morning, a league night or a weekend rush.

What you will actually find

Kirkland states no surface for any of its courts. What it does state is age. Peter Kirk Park's six courts were tennis courts until 13 April 2026, when the City closed them "for conversion to six dedicated pickleball courts", and they opened on 2 July 2026 at 3 p.m. Whatever surface they carry, it was laid this year. Feriton Spur Park's single court came out of a 2021-2022 renovation in which Google and SRM Development expanded the park. Everest Park's three courts carry no date at all, though the City did replace that park's restroom in 2026.

The one place Kirkland describes a playing surface rather than dating it is a court this site does not publish: Van Aalst Park has "half-basketball court with lines drawn for pickleball", which tells you exactly what you would be playing on and never says how many courts that amounts to.

Getting into a game

Ten courts across three parks. Kirkland's rule is that its pickleball courts are for drop-in play and nothing else: "All City of Kirkland pickleball courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis", and "The use of pickleball courts for business purposes is not allowed, including lessons, leagues, or tournaments." The City runs its own classes and leagues through kirklandparks.net, off these courts.

Six tennis courts at Peter Kirk Park became six dedicated pickleball courts this summer, a conversion the City documented step by step on the park's own page, and it is the only such conversion recorded anywhere on this site.

How many pickleball courts does Kirkland have?

Ten across three City parks: six at Peter Kirk Park, three at Everest Park and one at Feriton Spur Park. A fourth park, Van Aalst, has pickleball lines drawn on a half-basketball court, and because the City never says how many courts that is, it is not published here.

Is it free to play in Kirkland?

The City states no charge for any of its pickleball courts, but it also never says they are free, so this site does not describe them as free. Note that the "Free Play" schedule on Everest Park's page is about field time on grass and turf, not about the pickleball courts.

Are Kirkland's pickleball courts lit?

Not stated. Every court is open only from 8 a.m. to dusk, so there is no session after dark.

Can I book a court?

No. All Kirkland pickleball courts are first-come, first-served and drop-in only. The City also prohibits business use of the courts, including lessons, leagues and tournaments.

What happens if the courts are full?

The City posts a rotation rule. At Everest Park, and on the three Peter Kirk courts nearest the skate park, play one game to 11 points and then rotate off. On the three Peter Kirk courts nearest the street, play is limited to 30 minutes.
