Costa Mesa increases its pickleball portfolio with 8 new courts at Tennis Center

The Costa Mesa Tennis Center is now home to pickleball, after the city used a resurfacing project to create eight smaller format playing areas out of two tennis courts. And now the city’s love of the game — a hybrid of tennis and ping-pong played with rackets and plastic balls — can continue to grow, as officials next Monday celebrate the opening of eight more courts at the Costa Mesa Tennis Center in a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. “It’s exciting to have eight more pickleball courts at the Tennis Center,” recreation manager Monique Villasenor said Monday. “It’s a growing sport, and as sports grow, we’re committed to using our resources to meet the needs of the community.” The Costa Mesa Tennis Center is located at 880 Junipero Drive.
