More public pickleball courts for Glendale

A petition from Glendale residents to the Glendale City Council.

Where can I play pickleball in Glendale?

As of October 2026, Glendale has no public courts dedicated to pickleball: the city lists every one as shared. Players share 11 outdoor courts at Fremont and Pacific parks, 4 of them by paid reservation, and 8 indoor at the Pacific Community Center, or pay to play at Scholl Canyon or the Smash Dink club. By Pickleball's Case for Court Parity, the city needs about 44 dedicated public courts.
