Walt Hundley Playfield Tennis and Pickleball Courts

Walt Hundley Playfield in West Seattle gives the neighborhood a solid outdoor option for both tennis and pickleball. Two tennis courts and four pickleball courts share the facility, and both are well-maintained with clearly marked lines and movable nets. Lighting extends play beyond sunset, useful given Seattle's gray winters and long summer evenings.

Ambassadors run organized sessions on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM to noon, making it easy for drop-in players to get a game without coordinating in advance. Clinics for beginners and returning players also run on these days. Courts are free to use, which removes any barrier to showing up. The playfield sits in a park with soccer fields and a playground, making it a good destination for families.

Restrooms are accessible on-site. Parking is limited, so walking or biking is a practical option for nearby residents. One note from regulars: Walt Hundley can get windy, and if calm conditions matter to you, the nearby Delridge courts are sometimes suggested as a more sheltered alternative.
