Getting to the Mitchell Park Pickleball Courts

Parking
There is a public parking lot at the Mitchell Park Library. Enter from Middlefield Road or East Meadow Drive.
AbilityPath (3864 Middlefield Rd), our nearest neighbor, is allowing pickleball players to park at any time only at the rear of their building along the fence next to the Eucalyptus trees.
In all other parking spaces in front of the building, along the sides of the building, and at the rear of the building, there is no parking during business hours weekdays between 7:30AM and 6:00PM.
AbilityPath is generously allowing us to share this space with them. Please obey the parking rules, and help keep the area free of trash.
DO NOT park in the Fire Lane next to the creek, or you will be ticketed by the Palo Alto Police.
