Municipal Tennis and Pickleball Center
City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation · Private
The Municipal Tennis and Pickleball Center is the City of Santa Barbara's main racquet facility and the site of its youth tennis camps, alongside group lessons, clinics, USTA tournaments and leagues. Camps are operated by Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation, which also runs junior tennis camps for ages 7-15 at nearby Pershing Park. Registration goes through the city's summer camp system rather than a private club membership.

★★★Kyle RoachLive in Santa Barbara and use the pickleball courts here occasionally. The courts are well maintained and at $6 isn’t a bad price. My friends and I typically opt to play at other courts in the area due to the fact there are some very mean/aggressive older individuals on these courts. No one wants to get in fist fight with someone’s grandma over pickleball. Will continue to use in a pinch, but not our preferred courts.
★★★★★Scott SalinasLooked online to find a place to play pickleball while visiting for the weekend. The group was so inviting and gave me the layout of the courts and how it works. Great time and when I go to Santa Barbara I will be back for sure.
★★★★★M.A. EatsArt$6.00 to pay to the parking attendant is a lot for an out-of-towner to play here. The courts are fantastic and the rotation system is easy and welcoming. Shaded seating is a definite plus! Tennis courts are adjacent, and bathrooms, water fountains are a definite plus.
★★★★★Sean McDermottGreat option for open play Pickleball. Annual pass is $125 or $153 depending on city residence. $6 per person for a day pass. Plenty of open play every morning with weekends particularly busy.
★★★★★Kevin UnterreinerGreat place for tennis and pickleball. Only $6 per day for use and season passes available
