Magnolia Park

Court Details

About this court

Located at 251 Greg Thatch Circle in Sacramento, CA, Magnolia Park offers free public pickleball on courts that are open every day of the week from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Shared with tennis use, the courts feature permanent nets and covered overhead structure — a practical perk for players dealing with California heat or light rain. The park carries a 4.2 Google rating across 119 reviews, reflecting a generally positive community reception. Beyond the courts, the facility leans heavily into its multi-sport and family-friendly identity. Visitors note two age-separated playgrounds, open grass fields for informal sports, and a shaded picnic area with a gazebo — all available at no cost. The covered layout and kid-friendly features draw families from well outside the immediate neighborhood, with some players mentioning they travel roughly 20 minutes specifically for this park. That said, the court condition is rated as needing work, and reviewer feedback backs that up clearly. Players describe cracked concrete with weeds growing through, faded boundary lines, and at least one net with significant damage — issues that affect playability. The park also lacks restroom facilities entirely, which visitors flag as a notable gap for anyone arriving from outside the neighborhood. For casual pickleball in Sacramento with no cost barrier, Magnolia Park is accessible and well-situated, but players should arrive with realistic expectations about surface quality.
