Four colorful new pickleball courts are now open to the public at the corner of Drake Avenue and Donahue Street in Marin City. Hours are sunrise to sunset, seven days a week.
Located on parkland belonging to Golden Gate Village, the new courts are the result of a collaboration between Play Marin, the Marin Housing Authority, and Rec, the company that maintains the courts.
Rec also hosts the platform that players use to reserve court time at $6 for each 30 minutes up to two hours. Courts that have not been reserved are open for round-robin play with games to 11.
Players who create an account with Rec can also sign up for classes and "social drop-in play," when available.
Any questions about the new pickleball courts can be directed to Rec at support@rec.us or Play Marin founder and CEO Paul Austin at info@playmarin.org.
If you need rackets and balls to try out America's fastest growing sport, the Sausalito Library has a four-player pickleball set that can be checked out from its Library of Things for one week by adults living in the 94965 Zip code.
Pickleball courts are also available in Sausalito at MLK Park and Southview Park.
