Richmond Recreation Center

Located at 251 18th Avenue in San Francisco, CA, Richmond Recreation Center provides free, public pickleball through drop-in play on a multi-sport court in good condition. The facility carries a 4.4 rating across 76 reviews, and visitors note a clean, welcoming environment with water fountains and restrooms readily available. Hours run Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the center closed Sunday and Monday. Players should be aware that the court is shared with basketball, volleyball, and badminton, meaning multiple line sets are visible during play — something first-timers mention as an adjustment.
