Kinnear Park Tennis and Pickleball Courts

Kinnear Park's tennis court sits on a quiet stretch of the park overlooking Puget Sound in Seattle, shaded by trees with a bench to wait your turn. It's a laid-back, neighborhood spot for a casual hit rather than a big facility — just the one court, shared with pickleball players, so expect to share or wait if it's busy.
