San Francisco adds new pickleball courts, play hours

Moscone Park Playground is home to six new pickleball courts.

Open-play hours (no reservation required):

• Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: 9am–1pm
• Saturdays: 9am–1pm
• Sundays: 2–5pm

Reservations can be made:

• Mondays: 3pm until dark.
• Tuesdays, Thursday and Fridays: 3–6pm
• Saturdays and Sundays: 5pm until dark

Rossi Playground also has new dedicated open-play hours for pickleball on four courts.

That schedule covers:

• Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 9am–1pm
• Saturdays: 1–5pm
• Sundays: 9am–2pm

The big picture: Three more pickleball courts will be available this spring — two at Alta Plaza Park and one at Rossi Playground, the department says.

• It also plans to roll out an online reservation system in April and convene a tennis-pickleball planning roundtable to improve access to court time for both racket sports.
