Memorial Park Gymnasium and Tennis Courts

Court Details

About this court

At 1401 Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica, CA, Memorial Park Gymnasium and Tennis Courts ranks among the most popular pickleball destinations in the Los Angeles area, drawing beginners through 5.0-level competitors across its 12 outdoor and 6 indoor concrete courts. The facility holds a 4.4 Google rating from 572 reviews, with visitors frequently noting how well-maintained the courts are and how smoothly the drop-in sessions run. Access is public, and the courts are in good condition year-round. Drop-in pickleball sessions are scheduled on Wednesdays from 7–11 AM and 5–9 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM through noon or later. Fees are kept accessible at $2 for residents and $4 for non-residents. Equipment is available on-site—a limited supply of composite paddles for early arrivals and wood paddles for everyone else—so players can show up without gear. The venue also offers lights for evening play and clean restrooms, and free parking lots are located off 14th Street at the NE corner of Olympic Blvd. Beyond pickleball, Memorial Park is a multi-sport complex in the United States featuring baseball fields, a gymnasium, a playground, a skate park, and a dog run, which contributes to high overall foot traffic. Indoor courts are available for small tournaments on Sunday evenings from 7–10 PM by arrangement. With kid-friendly facilities and a welcoming drop-in culture, the site appeals to families and competitive players alike. Contact ambassador Doug Nichols at 310-963-2501 for tournament inquiries or additional scheduling details.
