About this court
De Forest Park in Long Beach, CA brings 8 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts to one of the city's most active public recreational spaces, drawing players seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Free to play with no reservation needed, the courts are fenced, equipped with permanent nets, and lit for full night sessions — a combination that players specifically highlight as a draw for after-work and evening drop-in play. The facility holds a 4.6 Google rating across 30 reviews, reflecting consistent satisfaction with court upkeep and accessibility. Drop-in and open play are the norm here, with the courts operating on an informal paddle-queue system during busier periods. Players note that activity picks up notably after 5:00 PM and that all 8 courts tend to stay in use through closing at 10:00 PM. The welcoming atmosphere draws a mix of skill levels, and regulars describe an inclusive community that's open to solo players looking to jump into games. Restrooms are located in a separate building within the park, and while the on-site parking lot is small, street parking along De Forest Ave. is generally available. Situated in Long Beach, United States, De Forest Park also connects to an adjacent riverbed path used by cyclists and runners, adding to the park's multi-sport appeal. For pickleball players seeking lighted, free, dedicated courts with a consistent drop-in scene, this Long Beach facility stands out as a well-maintained and community-driven option in the greater CA region.
