The local take
Boutique 3-court indoor venue on the Third Street Promenade. Clinics, live ball, social mixers. Pay-per-session, not membership-only.
What it's like to play here
Three PPA-approved indoor courts at Pickle Pop on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade. The location is unusual for a pickleball club — most are in industrial conversions or strip malls; Pickle Pop is in a foot-traffic-heavy retail district.
No membership required. Programming runs heavy on clinics, live ball sessions, and social mixers rather than open court rentals.
When to go (and when not to)
- Best: weeknight 6–9pm social mixers if you're new to the area and want to meet players.
- Avoid: peak Third Street Promenade hours unless you've already paid parking — local lots fill fast.
How to get there
Right on the Third Street Promenade pedestrian mall. Use the Santa Monica Place garages or the Promenade public lots.
