Parking and directions
All pickleball parking is in the rear parking lot of the Burbank Ice Arena. Parking in the arena’s front lot is not permitted for court users.
To reach the lot, enter Symonds Way and bear right at the fork onto Range Road. Continue past the courts on the right, then take the first left into the gravel parking lot behind the arena.
Construction nearby
The courts are next to an active construction site, and players are asked to be mindful of the work when walking to and from the courts this month.
Looking ahead to spring
The weekend sessions give residents a first chance to use the new courts before a formal grand opening planned for the spring.
