Arlington County park page (direct fetch blocked by site's bot protection; confirmed via search-result proxy of the official page): free, first-come outdoor pickleball lines striped on tennis courts. Court count conflicting across county sources (a county PDF title says 2 courts, other summaries say 4) — left null rather than guess.
Our picks from the pickleball buying guides — chosen editorially, never by the venue and never by spend.
