Murdy Park & Community Center

Court Details

About this court

Free pickleball is available at Murdy Park & Community Center in Huntington Beach, California, where lines are taped onto the basketball courts at 7000 Norma Drive. The facility is publicly accessible seven days a week — Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM — giving weekday players a long evening window under available lights. Players note that during busier periods, particularly summer months, the basketball courts require reservations that can limit pickleball access earlier in the day. However, evening reservation slots after 7:30 PM are frequently unfilled, making that window reliably available for pickleball. Court time can be reserved online, via on-site QR code, or by phone, and lessons are available for those looking to develop their game. The courts carry taped lines rather than painted ones, and the overall condition of the facility is rated good. Rated 4.2 across 362 Google reviews, Murdy Park earns consistent praise for its well-maintained grounds and practical amenities. Visitors mention the chilled filtered water stations for bottle refills, on-site restrooms, and ample free parking as standout conveniences. The park's multi-sport setup — encompassing tennis, basketball, baseball fields, and playgrounds — makes it a popular destination for families and dog walkers alike, reinforcing its kid-friendly and dog-friendly character. For pickleball players in Huntington Beach, CA, it represents an accessible, no-cost option with solid infrastructure and flexible evening availability.
