Pickleball at St. Michael's by-the-Sea

Outdoor · 2775 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad. Part of PaddleClub's record of where Carlsbad plays, and its petition for more public courts.

Can I play pickleball at St. Michael's by-the-Sea in Carlsbad?

As of October 2026, St. Michael's by-the-Sea has 4 pickleball courts. Outdoor, at the Episcopal church: 2 courts plus 2 in the parking lot. Run by a volunteer association; open to anyone for a suggested donation. It is neither a public nor a commercial court, so it is not counted in either.
