Coronado Cays Park at 99 Grand Caribe Isle is the home of Coronado's first and only public pickleball courts — eight dedicated courts resurfaced and opened in June 2023 after the City of Coronado converted two former tennis courts to meet surging demand for the fastest-growing racquet sport in San Diego County. Three tennis courts and a full basketball court round out the facilities on this six-acre park along Silver Strand Boulevard in the 92118 ZIP code.
Wednesday open play runs 9:00 AM to noon and Saturday open play runs 8:30 AM to noon, with 50-plus players regularly showing up across all skill levels — courts are divided by ability so beginners and competitive players both get quality games. Tuesday and Thursday evening sessions from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM provide additional court time under lights.
Reserve your court or grab a spot in the open play queue through the Coronado Tennis Center on Glorietta Boulevard, which manages all Cays Park court scheduling through the free Impact Activities app — download Impact Activities CA on iOS or Android, register under the Coronado location, and book your 90-minute slot up to a week in advance. Walk-ups are welcome at open play but reservations guarantee your court time, especially on Saturday mornings when all eight courts fill fast.
Players heading to the Cays from the village can rent a cruiser or e-bike from Holland's Bicycles at 977 Orange Avenue or pick up a street-legal golf cart from Coronado Golf Cart Rentals for the two-mile ride down Silver Strand Boulevard. Coronado Bike & Surf rents paddles, bags, and gear for players who travel light. After your match, Silver Strand State Beach is a five-minute walk for a cool-down swim, and The Gondola Company launches evening cruises through the Cays canals from 503 Grand Caribe Causeway.
