2026-06-06 INTEGRITY FLAG: These are NOT NYC Parks courts. The "16 courts" are in a parking lot adjacent to McCarren Park — confirmed from visitbrooklyn.nyc and brooklynpaper.com. Courts are BYOB net (not permanent), free, walk-on only, no reservations, sunrise-sunset. Official nycgovparks.org/parks/mccarren-park does NOT list pickleball (only tennis, handball, basketball, bocce). Address 776 Lorimer St is the parking lot address, not a park facility. May warrant a name change to "Parking Lot near McCarren Park Pickleball Courts."
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
