More public pickleball courts for San Diego

A petition from San Diego residents to the San Diego City Council.

Where can I play pickleball in San Diego?

As of October 2026, San Diego's own list shows 53 indoor public pickleball courts in 12 city gyms, open at limited hours: about 480 hours of court time a week, the same as 5 courts open full time. Outdoor courts are still being verified. By Pickleball's Case for Court Parity, the city needs about 309 dedicated public courts.
