The Boston Globe (Sept. 2024, "Fist fights and ripped nets: Shared courts spark tensions between pickleball players and tennis players in Boston") reports pickleball lines drawn onto three tennis courts at Boston Common. Park address confirmed via the official boston.gov Boston Common page, which does not itself mention pickleball. Free, open to the public, bring your own net.
