Best Tennis and Pickleball courts in Rosemead, Los Angeles County for 2026

5 lighted tennis courts with benches, 4 pickleball courts at designated times. 3 courts are reserved for tennis, and 2 courts are reserved for pickleball. The courts are somewhat closed in with two exit doors. Park employees will set up and take down the nets. Perfect place for a pickleball if you have the equipment. Well maintained. Nets are only set up at certain times during the day by the city of Rosemead. You can bring your own net to play if visiting at other times. The east fence of the courts also needs a screen to block the wind. 

If you’re coming for tennis they are open until 10:00 p.m. lights turn off then. Convenient public tennis courts. There’s a parking lot, and they are open late. May need to wait your turn, and the courts are a pretty old and scratched up, but solid place to play. Not a lot of people come here to play.

Pickleball Pilot Program

As a Pilot Program, temporary pickleball lines have been added to Court #2 for shared use. This initiative is designed to allow the community to enjoy pickleball and to help staff better understand how the courts are being used, as well as to identify any potential concerns.

The pilot program will allow the city to evaluate:

• Frequency of court use, and any challenges that arise from shared use.
• Any concerns as a result of the added pickleball courts.
• Community feedback on whether the court should only be a tennis court or should be a hybrid court with the tennis and pickleball option.

Residents are encouraged to share their thoughts and any impacts with the Recreation & Community Services Department by emailing recreation@montereypark.ca.gov. Additionally, there will be an opportunity for community comments during the Recreation and Parks Commission meeting on Monday, December 1, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Longley Center (400 W. Emerson Ave.). Thank you.
