Luther Burbank Pickleball Courts

2040 84TH AVENUE SE

Luther Burbank Park features a newly renovated sport court facility with eight dedicated pickleball courts installed in 2024. The layout follows court dimensions outlined in the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook and includes court fencing to assist with ball control. With high-quality surfaces and well-marked lines, the courts provide an excellent playing experience. As pickleball's popularity continues to grow, these new courts add vibrancy to Luther Burbank Park, enriching the City's recreational offerings.

Additional facility improvements will be implemented in 2025, including installing permanent acrylic surfacing over the blacktop. Learn more about this renovation project and upcoming work on Let's Talk.
