Court Details

About this court

Situated at 2261 Dapplegray Lane in Walnut Creek, CA, Rudgear Park features 8 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts that serve as the home base for the well-organized Walnut Creek Pickleball Club. Four of the courts were resurfaced in June 2016 and four more were added in September 2018, keeping the facility in good overall condition. The courts carry a 4.5 Google rating across 17 reviews, with players consistently noting the friendly, inclusive atmosphere and the reliable number of available courts. Drop-in play is open to the public on a pay-to-play basis, with a $2 ball donation requested from non-members. Hours follow a varied weekly schedule: Monday through Wednesday run 8 AM to 1 PM, Thursdays are closed, and Friday through Sunday offer longer sessions stretching from 8 or 10 AM until dusk. The Walnut Creek Pickleball Club—with hundreds of active members—supplies balls and loaner paddles, and 6 picnic tables are available courtside for players waiting to rotate in. Play generally runs at an intermediate-to-advanced level, though all skill levels are welcome. Restrooms are available on-site near the adjacent tennis courts, and visitors mention being mindful of parking, as street parking directly in front of neighboring homes is discouraged—additional off-street parking can be found near the empty tennis courts. Annual club membership is available at $60 per year. For scheduling questions, contact Kris Hunter at 925-998-4743.
