Excellent courts at Soto Park in Arroyo Grande. Home to a very active group who play regularly. As a visitor, I felt welcomed and was able to get a few competitive games in. The small park as a whole is active year round. Even has a dog park for them to socialize and exercise too!!

My friends were there playing (they are members) and we met there. Two of my friends were made to go home because there was no one there to take money and they had been there before. So they said if you can't pay you can't play. These are public park courts mind you, that are ran during certain hours by a club. Well we must have caught the members on a bad day. I read all the reviews about a welcoming atmosphere and how nice people were so was excited to go there. I didn't have a welcoming experience at all. Quite the opposite! The guy in charge yelled at us during the middle of a game and said, "Were you here yesterday because it's only one free visit?" We had never been there for club play before today, so yelled "No, we were in Avila yesterday." Couldn't he have waited to ask us until after our game? They also have a gold (winners), silver (losers) system. I had just come off and 3 were going out. I asked if they needed another player. They lady said sure and the guy I had beat earier that morning said, "No we have 4." There was no paddle in the silver rack. The lady said, "No we need one." He said, "No we don't and nevermind I just won't play." Talk about standing there feeling awkward. Then the lady said to the man, "Well you can play with her."(meaning me) and he said, "OK I will play." So he obviously didn't want to play against me, but was willing to play with me. So silly! The competition was not too solid. Around 3.0-3.5 at best, so it was hard to find good quality play. Not much dropping or dinking going on. Also, once they watch and realize you are a good player they won't go to you, so you get to just stand and watch your partner lose the game for you. Not a good experience at all! I will never ever go back there during club play!! I would rather go to Pismo Athletic Club and play the challenge court or Shell Beach were the competition is about the same as Arroyo Park Pickleball courts (but at least the people are welcoming, friendly, and it's free.) P.S. the courts are well maintained though!
