Arcata Community Center

Court Details

About this court

Arcata Community Center brings pickleball to Arcata, CA with a total of five courts — 3 indoor courts available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday inside the community center, and 2 outdoor courts with painted lines at Larsen Park's tennis facility. The outdoor courts are free on a first-come, first-served basis, while indoor drop-in play runs $3 per session or $20 for a punch card good for ten plays, making it an affordable option for regular participants. Operating hours run Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, with weekend closures, so planning ahead is recommended. Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 155 Google reviews and listed in good condition, the center is a well-regarded public resource in Humboldt County. The facility is ADA accessible and kid-friendly, and players note it functions as a true multi-sport hub — a fitness center and pool are located across the parking lot, and the broader campus includes event spaces and a children's play area. Reviewers mention the community-centered atmosphere and accessible amenities, including quality restrooms and ADA parking. Because indoor court use can be impacted by special events, pickleball participants are encouraged to verify availability before visiting and to follow the Humboldt Bay Pickleball Club's online calendar for updated scheduling. The Larsen Park outdoor courts use a tennis net for one court, while players must bring their own net for the second — a practical detail worth noting before heading out.
