Court Details

About this court

SWAC Pickleball and Tennis Courts in Seattle, WA offers free, publicly accessible pickleball on a 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week schedule at 2901–2945 Southwest Thistle Street in West Seattle. The facility holds a solid 4.7 Google rating across 31 reviews and is listed in good condition, making it one of the more dependable outdoor multi-sport destinations in the area. The complex is part of a broader athletic campus in the United States that includes a pool, lighted football and baseball fields, and six tennis courts — with players noting that three of the northern courts are configured for pickleball, yielding six dedicated pickleball setups. Open play and tournaments both take place here regularly, and the free-to-play, public-access model draws a consistent community crowd. Reviewers do flag that nets are not provided on-site, so players must bring their own — though many point out this tends to keep the courts less congested than comparable facilities nearby. A few practical notes from those who visit: access may be limited during Seattle Public Schools instructional sessions, especially in spring, so off-school hours tend to offer the most reliable availability. The site features ample street and playing-field parking, and while shade is limited, players mention that the location is often breezy, which helps on warmer days. Lights are listed as an available amenity, though some visitors suggest nighttime lighting could be further improved for evening play.
