Venice Beach Paddle Tennis Courts

Venice Beach Paddle Tennis Courts sit right on the iconic Ocean Front Walk, offering a breezy, seaside setting for casual rallies and local competition. Run by LA Recreation & Parks, the courts attract a friendly mix of tourists, neighbors and regulars who enjoy sunset play with ocean views. The atmosphere is relaxed and community-oriented — great for newcomers wanting to try paddle tennis or players looking for informal matches. Expect an open‑air, beachfront experience where play often blends with the energetic, artistic vibe of Venice Beach.

Outdoor paddle tennis courts located directly on the Ocean Front Walk; hard court surface typical of public paddle/paddle tennis facilities (exposed asphalt or synthetic overlay); open-air, oceanfront location with natural sea breeze; limited or variable court lighting (check with LA Parks for evening availability); no dedicated on-site pro shop—equipment and accessories generally available at nearby sporting goods stores or local vendors; lessons and clinics may be offered periodically through LA Recreation & Parks or independent local coaches; no full-service café on the courts, but plentiful food vendors and restaurants within a short walk.

Situated on the busy Venice Boardwalk near the Venice Pier and Muscle Beach — great for people-watching, street performers and ocean views. Stroll the nearby Venice Canals or head inland to Abbot Kinney Boulevard for boutique shops, coffee shops and acclaimed restaurants (Gjelina, The Butcher’s Daughter, Rose Café and many casual eateries). Parking is limited: expect metered street parking, municipal lots and short-term commercial curb spaces; arriving by bike or transit is often easier. Numerous snack vendors and food trucks operate on the boardwalk for quick bites after play.
