Court Details

About this court

Set at 560 59th St, Bushrod Park in Oakland, California is a public pickleball destination featuring 4 outdoor asphalt courts painted onto one shared tennis court, open daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The courts hold a solid 4.4 rating across 471 Google reviews and are tagged for free play, pay-to-play, drop-in sessions, portable nets, and multi-sport use — reflecting a versatile, community-driven setup in the heart of Oakland, United States. Organized group play runs on a consistent weekly schedule: all-levels sessions welcome beginners on Tuesday evenings (5:30–7:30 PM) and Friday afternoons (1:00–3:00 PM), while intermediate and advanced players gather Thursday evenings (5:30–7:30 PM) and Sunday afternoons (3:00–5:00 PM). A general all-levels Sunday session also runs from 1:00–3:00 PM. Players note that portable nets are set up for play, balls are often provided, and a modest $2 fee applies during certain sessions with Venmo accepted as payment. Visitors mention the asphalt surface is in playable condition, though the overlap of multiple court lines on the shared tennis surface can be disorienting at first. Restrooms are located in an adjacent community center, though access has been reported as inconsistent. Parking is available on-site and along nearby streets, and the park's broader amenities — basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and soccer fields — add to its multi-sport character. For Oakland pickleball players seeking structured drop-in play with an active local community, Bushrod Park delivers a dependable, accessible option throughout the week.
