About this place

Bitter Lake Playfield holds eight courts striped for tennis and pickleball under lights, which makes it one of exactly two sites in Seattle offering both the largest court count and evening play. Between it and Rainier Beach Playfield sit sixteen of the ninety-two courts in the city.

The imported commercial dataset held two separate Bitter Lake entries: a community centre with three indoor courts, and a second row claiming eleven courts of which three were indoor. Seattle Parks records one pickleball site at this address, with eight courts, all outdoor. This page is the outdoor playfield; the community centre is a separate building with its own indoor courts and is not published here.

Getting there

Seattle Parks records the address as 13035 Linden Ave N and gives this site dedicated parking rather than street parking. The restroom is recorded as seasonal, so it is not something to count on outside the warm months. No capacity, permit or time-limit information is published for the parking.

What to expect

Eight courts, nets provided, and lights: the fullest combination available in Seattle on the city's own record. The courts are shared with tennis, so expect tennis lines underfoot and the possibility of a booked court. There is no posted-hours order against this location in the records checked, unlike Gilman, Laurelhurst and Mt. Baker, so the lights are not capped by a curfew. What Seattle Parks does not publish is when the lights actually run or whether they are switched on seasonally, so treat evening play as possible rather than guaranteed. No crowding or peak-time data is published for any venue.

Thanks. Your review is in the queue: a person reads every one before it appears here, so it will not show up straight away.

Questions about Bitter Lake Playfield

Is this the same place as Bitter Lake Community Center?

No. The community centre is a building with three indoor courts of its own; this record is the outdoor playfield with eight. They share a campus.

How does it compare with Rainier Beach?

They are the two eight-court lit sites in Seattle. Rainier Beach has an all-year restroom where Bitter Lake's is seasonal; both have dedicated parking and nets. On the city's record the two are close to interchangeable.

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.
