Surface & ground texture
Concrete hard court
Dense, smooth and very firm

- Solid grip when dry; can be slick when wet
- Bounce
- Fast, true and lively bounce
- Wet weather
- Sheds water quickly where the slab is sloped to drain
The most durable outdoor surface and the least prone to cracking, but the hardest underfoot — cushioned court shoes help on longer sessions. A broomed or lightly coated finish adds grip.

- Lit for evening play (overhead floodlights)
- Fenced court cluster

FAQ
How many pickleball courts are at Albion Gardens Park?
The City of Toronto facility listing (id=923) and public directories cite three outdoor courts. On-site layout may show additional painted pads — count nets in use when you arrive.
Do I need to bring a net?
No portable net required for typical play — courts use existing tennis nets on the shared tennis/pickleball surface. The net sits higher than a dedicated pickleball net.
Is it free to play?
Yes — listed as free public drop-in courts.
Are there lights for evening play?
Yes. Overhead lights are visible on-site and listed for this facility — confirm they are on when you visit.
What is the court surface?
Outdoor concrete with blue playing areas and green surrounds, permanent white lines.
Why is the net taller than other courts?
Lines are painted on tennis courts, so you play with tennis nets unless the City or players set up alternate equipment. Plan for a slightly higher net than a dedicated pickleball pad.
Can I reserve a court?
Courlo lists these as public drop-in courts. Check toronto.ca for any permit or program that closes the pad.
When is the best time to play?
Weekday mornings are usually quieter; weekday evenings and weekend afternoons are typically busier. Use the weather section on this page for day-by-day windows.
How do I get there?
Address: 41 Deanlea Ct, Etobicoke. Bus routes serve Albion Rd / Kipling Ave; many players drive and park nearby.
Is there parking?
Street and lot parking are available in the area — read local signs for restrictions.
