The local take
Eight dedicated free courts up in Newport Coast — bring sunscreen, no lights so plan around daylight.
What it's like to play here
Eight dedicated pickleball courts at Newport Ridge Community Park in Newport Coast — a rare combination of free + dedicated + 8 courts on the south side of OC. The catch: no lights, so play is daylight-only. Bring sunscreen; the courts are exposed and there's no shade.
When to go (and when not to)
- Best: weekend mornings, weekday late morning before midday sun.
- Avoid: summer 1–4pm (brutal) and any evening (no lights).
How to get there
Off the 73 toll road at Newport Coast Drive north, then east on San Joaquin Hills Road. Free lot.
