Playing Pickleball in Livermore as a Visitor

A solo visitor has two dependable paths. For indoor play, arrive at Robert Livermore Community Center during an adult drop-in session and pay at the front desk. For outdoor play, use the Tri-Valley Pickleball Club play groups to coordinate a skill-matched game at May Nissen or Livermore Downs before arriving. Players bringing their own group can use the free outdoor drop-in courts directly; bring a portable net only for the extra lined courts at May Nissen.
