Venice Beach Paddle Tennis courts

Court Details

About this court

Nestled along the famous boardwalk in Venice, CA, United States, the Venice Beach Paddle Tennis Courts offer 11 outdoor hard-surface courts at 1800 Ocean Front Walk, open to the public every day from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM at no charge. The site carries a 4.7 Google rating from 58 reviews and is tagged as ADA accessible, multi-sport, and drop-in friendly—making it a well-regarded destination for both paddle tennis regulars and pickleball players exploring the Southern California coast. All 11 courts are enclosed by high chain-link fencing, which players note effectively eliminates stray-ball interruptions during gameplay, and the setup has been described as well-suited for tournament use. Pickleball activity at this location operates under a specific arrangement: two courts closest to the beach are designated for pickleball on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 7:00 AM to noon, with organized sessions also running Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to noon. Players set up portable net systems and mark kitchen lines before play begins—a process that takes roughly five minutes. Visitors mention the community is welcoming to newcomers but advise being respectful of paddle tennis players when courts are busy, as pickleball is not permitted across all 11 courts at all times. Parking options include free street spots (subject to posted sign restrictions), metered street parking, and a beach lot priced at $4–$6 Monday through Friday, with an annual pass available for those 62 and older. For schedule details or questions about drop-in play, an on-site ambassador is reachable by phone or text.

Notes

Contact: Doug Nichols AMBASSADOR Phone: 3109632501 Schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9AM until Noon Fee: Street Parking Free or Meters (Read Signs!) Beach Parking $4 to $6 Mon-Fri (62+ $25 A YEAR)) Comment: The City has given us 2 courts closest to the beach from 7am until noon on Tues and Wed. Would be a great tournament location because all 11 courts are surrounded by high chain link fences. No "Ball On" Calls interrupt our games. We put up our portable net systems or raise the nets and put down kitchen (no-volley zone) lines before we play. It takes about 5 minutes. Call me for more information...my phone number is a cell phone that you can leave a message or a text and I will get back to you ASAP.
