Yes. While originally built for paddle tennis, the Elenda Street courts are widely used by both the paddle tennis and pickleball communities. The city has painted lines on the 3 main courts to support both sports, making this one of the most popular local spots for paddle sports in the area.
The Culver City courts at Elenda Street are lighted, allowing play from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. The lights are automated and will shut off promptly at 10:00 PM to respect the surrounding residential neighborhood.
Like most public courts in Culver City, a standard paddle-up/rack-up rotation system is used when the courts are full.
