MAR VISTA / VENICE 

Mar Vista Rec Center - 11430 Woodbine Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90066

6 courts - recently resurfaced. It's a first come first serve so expect to wait if you go at peak times. The school across the street has permits most days from 2-5 and the City also runs classes in the AM and after school. Check schedules posted at the entrance to the courts so you can be strategic about which court you take so you don't get booted by a permitted coach.
Small parking lot on Sawtelle just south of the cross with Palms.
No pickleball.
Decent lights.

Penmar Rec Center -  1341 Lake St, Venice, CA 90291

6 courts - courts were resurfaced a few months ago so in decent shape. There's a sign up system during office hours which are 9am-9pm Monday-Saturday. Sign ups open up 15 minutes before the hour and you can reserve for the hour ahead. So, for example, if you want to play at 11am, the office will allow you to sign up from 10.45am and you'll get an hour guaranteed. Outside of office hours it's first come first serve. Peak times can be busy and people often start lining up 30 minutes before sign ups open.
Decent lights.
