Pickleball in Janesville, California

Janesville is a small Lassen County community south of Susanville, and its local park now provides an in-town place to play pickleball. Janesville Park's courts were resurfaced for pickleball in 2025. The nearby Lassen Pickleball Club also supports play in both Janesville and Susanville, making Susanville's Memorial Park a useful second option when you want access to the area's established pickleball community.

Where to Play

• Janesville Park, 464 Church St., Janesville. The community park has outdoor pickleball courts that were newly resurfaced in 2025. This is the convenient in-town choice for arranging your own game. Published information does not establish a standing open-play schedule, reservation system, lighting, or equipment availability, so bring your own paddle and balls and do not assume other players will be waiting when you arrive. Read the Janesville Park court update.
• Nearby in Susanville: Memorial Park Racquet Courts, North Street, Susanville. The City of Susanville confirms that Memorial Park has public multi-use tennis and pickleball courts, open daily from dawn to dusk. The courts were resurfaced and striped for pickleball, and Lassen Pickleball Club uses the facility for organized competition and helps provide nets, wind screens, and balls for pickleball in the Susanville and Janesville area. This makes Memorial Park particularly useful when you want to connect with the area's broader player community. Check official Memorial Park information.

Getting Started

No recurring beginner class with a current published Janesville schedule is available to recommend. If you are new to pickleball, the most practical community route is to connect with players associated with Lassen Pickleball Club and ask about beginner-friendly play in Janesville or at Memorial Park in Susanville. The club is an active local organization that supports pickleball in both communities.

Organized Play and Events

The club has supported tournament play at Memorial Park, including team-format competition, and tournament information confirms that club proceeds help provide pickleball equipment in both Susanville and Janesville.

Memorial Park has hosted multi-court tournaments, so it is worth checking local club activity when you are looking for more than a self-organized game at Janesville Park. Tournament dates change and past events should not be treated as a current schedule.

Visiting Janesville and Looking for a Game?

If you already have a partner or group, Janesville Park is the simplest choice. The resurfaced courts give you an in-town place to play without driving into Susanville. Bring your own equipment because published park information does not confirm equipment availability or a regular staffed program.

If you are traveling alone and your main goal is finding other players, check the Lassen Pickleball Club community and consider the short drive to Memorial Park in Susanville. The City confirms public tennis and pickleball access there from dawn to dusk, and the park has an established connection to the local pickleball club. That gives a solo visitor a more practical lead for finding the area's active players than simply arriving at Janesville Park and hoping a game is underway.
