Mimi Zheng: ★★★★
The fee attendant (Mike) was incredibly rude for no reason. The courts are nice though, so after the initial irritation of being talked down to, it was a fun time.

Municipal pickleball tennis courts are the best place in Santa Barbara to play pickleball. It offers open courts and open play all the time and most people look for their own level and find a court and sit on the bench. Also you can get a yearly pass so you don't have to pay the $5 pass every time you walk in. I think it's the best place. It contains a total of 16 pickleball courts at this point and sometimes believers are not. All the 16 are taken and they're people waiting on the sideline so if you like pickleball definitely come and check it out and make sure you go for the right court with your level so everybody will be happy and happy New Year
David Toneff: ★★★★★
Great group of folks that meet here every morning to play pickleball. Thank you to everyone who gave me and my wife the space & time to learn how to play the game. Update, we returned to Santa Barbara from Tampa in 2023. The play, the people & the courts were even better than a 2022.. Thank you to John, Randall, Hugh, Tristan,, Steven, Sam Scott & Sid for making this Tampa boy feel like one of the boys. What a great group of guys. I pray that you maintain lifelong relationships with each other. You're truly blessed to have each other. Sincerely David
