There are no court lights; plan daylight sessions and expect rotation when others are waiting.

Court setup and rotation
The City lists this as a pickleball facility — not a shared tennis conversion. That lowers setup friction: net height and lines match dedicated play, though the pad is still a single court in a busy neighbourhood park.
Drop-in etiquette applies: share with anyone waiting. Winter snow and maintenance can take the pad offline — confirm conditions on arrival rather than assuming year-round play.
Transit and parking
501 Queen and 505 Dundas streetcars are the reliable options; Bathurst Station on Line 2 is roughly a fifteen-minute walk south. Street parking on Bathurst and side streets is paid or permit-heavy on evenings and weekends.
Biking from the West End rail path works well when you want to avoid circling for parking.
If the court is full
Nearby hard-court clusters use different net models — Trinity CRC and Stanley Park tennis courts are not drop-in equivalents. Read each Courlo listing before detouring.
Courlo’s Alexandra Park page links Dieppe, Dufferin Grove, and other verified Toronto courts with maps and FAQs.
