I've never played pickleball…read more And for the last two years, friends and fam have been trying to convince me to try it out, but the timing was never really right. Then one day! They finally convinced me to join their league and just go. My very first practice was here - which is conveniently close to home. I was immediately impressed when I walked in. I checked in (I registered prior to coming in - $20 for the day), did a quick browse through their merch and was pleasantly surprised at how many courts they have. I gotta say, they're popular: all courts were occupied. And it's pretty well maintained - no clutter, the whole court look like they were freshly painted, even the nets looked new. They also have a nice lounge area and they provide free water - just bring your own tumbler. I was lucky enough to get free coaching from cousin-in-law who showed me the basics: rules, scoring, etc., and was playing 2 vs 2 in no time. And I'll admit I really enjoyed it! A couple more practice runs and I might just commit! Most of them have tried many other facilities but they said this one is the best one they've played at yet. I've seen a couple of those places and I have to agree. Their league has a tourney soon - I'm signed up, apparently - and it'll be held here, so I'll be coming back sooner than later. Good first run! Looking forward to coming back.

Once inside you will be greeted by 11 net-fenced courts that have plenty of space for you to run down overhead smashes and hunt ATP (around the post) opportunities. 17 outdoor courts are coming Summer 2026!! For non-members the drop-in fee is $25/day, but there are specials when the drop-in fee is $10/day. There are tiers to membership, but all members have the opportunity to reserve courts. Throughout the day there is plenty of programming from private lessons to ladders to round robins to tournaments. Open play can be hit or miss here, but definitely worth coming on Friday Night Lights where there is a live DJ, food, and adult drinks! Hands down, the best feature about this place is the amazing water refill stations. The water is straight from the mountains!

They have seven courts and offer open play. First thing that caught my attention was how fast and lack of bounce the balls were traveling down the court. The court concrete is polished smooth and using a Selkirk type of ball with a power paddle, those balls are traveling fast! Took a bunch of plays to get use to the speed and bounce of the ball. The open play isn't divided to play levels so you can be in a high level or low level game randomly, can be intimidating for newbies. This place is definitely a good pay play place to try. The owner Leslie was very nice and helpful to get me started with signing the wavier and into playing.

The facility has many courts that are divided with plenty of space between each sectioned court. Most courts don't have this perk and are crammed close together. Also, their operating hours are so convenient and we can always get a court on a whim. The added convenience of booking courts online and paying thru Venmo is a big plus! Prices are really competitive and much cheaper than that new place in Carson! Please come check this place out! You will not want to go anywhere else! Come help support this family-owned & operated business! Leslie and her boys are so sweet and accommodating.

There's a playground for older kids, a playground for younger kids and a huge open field. The bathrooms were surprisingly very very clean. I was very surprised. I thought it was going to be something where I had to hold my breath for 3 minutes. Use the bathroom, wash my hands and head out. But it was extremely clean. They have a giant fire pit. No one started a fire there, but it looks like that would be a pretty big bonfire. I would come by again if I was in the area. Good job El Segundo

I recently found Vernon Hemingway Park after it was recommended to me by Melissa and Emily at the…read morePowerPlay Pickleball Yelp Event. I thought the only place to place pickleball in Carson was Dignity Health Sports Park, though I don't spend much time in Carson at all to know. This may be my new favourite spot to play during the day! I have visited Hemingway Park both during weekday mornings (mainly Friday) and a couple of week nights after work, and the vibes are massively different. The morning crowd is much more welcoming and relaxed. Although there are competitive games, the people are super friendly and laugh more. That is my type of crowd! Even from my first visit, people introduced themselves, gave me the low down, and were happy to have me jump in a game. The evening crowd seemed a lot more serious, which is not why I play pickleball. Plus, the mosquitoes come out in the evenings. No, thank you! There are 2 courts for novice players, 4 courts for intermediates, and 2 courts for the advanced players. The park has a small parking lot, so you may need to look for street parking. The park also has a nice playground and a track the runs around the park. It seems like a great place for friends and families! If you happen to come play pickleball on a Friday morning, then look for me for a friendly game! Most Fridays, you'll find music playing and a great, diverse crowd of players!

Unfortunately, my experience with Coach Kaue was very disappointing. Instead of creating a supportive atmosphere, his communication felt unnecessarily negative, disrespectful, and at times hostile. As a coach, professionalism, patience, and encouragement are essential, particularly when working with players of different skill levels. Constructive feedback is always appreciated, but it should never come across as belittling or disrespectful. The overall atmosphere made the session uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. For an organization associated with a five-star property, I expected a much higher standard of customer service, professionalism, and respect toward participants. I sincerely hope the management reviews this feedback and ensures that future sessions reflect the level of hospitality and professionalism that guests expect.
