Court Details

About this court

Walter Reed Outdoor Courts brings free public pickleball to Arlington, Virginia, with 9 concrete courts split across two separate playing areas on the grounds at 2909 16th St S. The layout divides six blue-marked courts across three repurposed tennis courts and three green-marked courts converted from a basketball court — a practical dual-zone setup that can accommodate multiple groups simultaneously. Access is free with no reservation required, and restrooms are available on-site. Weekday hours run 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, offering ample time for after-work sessions. Weekend availability is reduced, with Saturday closing at 5:00 PM and Sunday limited to a 1:00–7:00 PM window, so planning ahead is worthwhile. The facility holds a 4.7 Google rating based on 96 reviews. Among those who mention the courts specifically, players note appreciation for the consistent weekday evening access. The concrete surface across all 9 courts provides a firm, predictable playing experience typical of converted multi-use public facilities. For Arlington-area players seeking no-cost outdoor pickleball in Virginia with reliable weeknight hours and restroom access, Walter Reed represents a well-rated community option worth adding to the rotation.
