Welcome to the
Mountain View Pickleball Club
About Us
The Rengstorff Park pickleball courts in Mountain View are home to the Mountain View Pickleball Club. All the courts at Rengstorff are open to the public for drop-in play. No reservations are required.
The park offers three dedicated pickleball courts, two with permanent nets. These courts are for daytime play only, as they do not have lighting for play after dark. There are also six courts with portable nets that are shared with tennis players on tennis courts 3 and 4. These six shared-use courts do have lighting for evening play. (See the court schedule below for the shared-use courts).
No pickleball is to be played before 9:00am or after 9:00pm on any of the shared-use courts. These restrictions do not apply to the permanent courts.
We hope visitors will find the courts at Rengstorff Park to be a friendly and welcoming environment for both beginners and advanced players. When the courts are full, you can join in by placing paddles on the ground next to the net. Place two paddles down in order to challenge the winners of the current game, or place four paddles down in order to take over the court after the current game. Placing a single paddle down is sometimes frowned upon by those who want to keep their teams together, but is often allowed, if you first ask permission. Please try to follow these simple rules, and HAVE FUN!
The City of Mountain View provides a more comprehensive list of court rules and regulations HERE.

Club Membership
Although you don’t need to be a member of the pickleball club to play at Rengstorff Park, club membership has several benefits:
COMMUNICATION
The club uses the membership roster to announce special events, including introductory clinics, skill-development clinics , and round robin tournaments for friendly competition. Some round robins use the DUPR ranking system to help players establish an objective skill ranking. With this numerical ranking, players can more accurately communicate their skill level when entering tournaments.
The club also uses the Pickleheads App for both tournament organizers and players. Organizers use the app to set up and run a round robin, while players can use the app to enter their scores, view their next match and see their overall tournament standing. The app is available for both laptops and mobile devices.
ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT
The club has used membership dues to purchase a storage locker for supplies, member name tags, loaner pickleballs and paddles, and equipment to help maintain the courts. Membership dues also paid for the initial seven portable nets that we needed to start the club.
VOLUNTEERING
The club has built the social infrastructure that makes it easy for you to learn pickleball and to improve your game, and your Membership includes free clinics and informal tournaments that are hosted by volunteer instructors. As we all know, volunteering is rewarding in itself and we encourage those members who have benefitted from pickleball instruction, to pass on to others what you have learned as a volunteer.
