About this venue

Del Obispo Park's pickleball courts are heavily used and undergoing expansion. Dana Point Times/Picket Fence Media (2026) reported 3 existing outdoor courts with 100+ person waitlists and up to 45-minute waits; the city council approved a roughly $1.95M modification project (contractor Elegant Construction) adding 2 new lighted, fenced courts and rebuilding an adjacent basketball court for more pickleball capacity. Voice of OC (April 2025) separately described 6 total courts (3 outdoor + 3 indoor via Community Center classes). The city's own danapoint.org park page returned a 403 error on every fetch attempt, so address and an authoritative current court count are left null pending direct confirmation.
