Kinnear Park Tennis and Pickleball Courts

I had a very frustrating experience at this tennis court today. A man and a woman were playing, and we waited politely for more than 20 minutes before asking when they would be finished. On a public court, it should be common sense and basic courtesy to rotate after completing a set so that everyone has a chance to play. Instead, they told us they wanted to keep playing for another 30 minutes and completely dismissed our reasonable proposal to share the court by alternating 20-minute sessions. Their attitude was selfish and disrespectful, showing no regard for others who were also waiting. Public courts are not meant to be monopolized like private property. This situation makes it very clear that the court should put up a clear sign with rules stating that players must rotate after a set or a reasonable amount of time. Without such rules, inconsiderate people will continue to occupy the court for as long as they want, leaving others unable to play.

There’s only one court, but it’s surrounded by trees and there’s a bench to wait if the court is taken. The pickleball court is painted in yellow. The booking QR code posted is expired/doesn’t work so it seems first come first serve.

We thought it was beautiful during sunset. Although there are a few homeless camping along the trail it was somewhat clean and not scary. I wouldn’t recommend going at night. But before sunset its beautiful! You can always go out a different way and not pass through the homeless people.

Creepy at night, dark like pitch. Homeless camps with lots of tents and trash throan about. All tucked away hudden amongst the trees and foliage. Great dog area for day time use. Just be careful at night, kinda shady.

One of the BEST tennis courts to play on in Seattle. Pretty much right on the water and solid, clean surface to play on. Only catch is there's only one so either hope no one is there or just sit, watch, hike and enjoy the park.
