Player ratings

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

That review did not go through. It needs a star rating, a name and at least twenty characters of text.

We could not save that review just now. Try again in a little while.

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.

Something wrong here?

If you play here and this is out of date, tell us. Corrections come with a source and a date attached, the same as everything else, and a correction that changes a court count gets checked against the city record before it goes live.
