Parks with Outdoor Handball and Racquetball Courts in Orange County

by Michele Whiteaker

Parks with Outdoor Handball and Racquetball Courts

I love it when readers ask questions! Chances are — you are not the only one wondering about the answer.  Facebook and the readers who follow me there have turned out to be an invaluable and instantaneous resource when I need answers to tough questions, like “How do I find parks with outdoor handball courts in Orange County?”

This one stumped me. I couldn’t think of ANY.  Oh no!  Facebook to the rescue. Just hearing about some of them jogged my memory.  Thanks to all who put on their thinking caps.

North County

  • Craig Regional Park in Fullerton (satellite map shows 8 courts) — Contributed by SC
  • Independence Park in Fullerton (satellite map shows 3 courts) — Contributed by JM
  • Boisseranc Park in Buena Park (satellite map shows 4 courts) — Contributed by IC
  • George Bellis Park in Buena Park (satellite map shows 2 courts)

Central County

  • Northwood Community Park in Irvine (satellite map shows 1 court) — Contributed by KLM
  • Heritage Park in Irvine (has a half court basketball near playground which could be used for handball, plus it looks like some racquetball courts by the tennis courts – see satellite map)
  • University Community Park in Irvine (satellite map shows 3 courts) — Contributed by KLM
  • Woodbridge Community Park in Irvine (satellite map shows 3 courts)
  • San Miguel Park in Newport Beach (satellite map shows 4 courts)
  • Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley was mentioned (by CF), but the courts are actually at Fountain Valley Recreation and Sports Park which is adjacent to Mile Square. I called the Tennis Center to see if the practice courts were open for handball, but it’s just for tennis.

South County

  • Del Obispo Park at the Dana Point Community Center (2 courts – pictured above) — Contributed by MA

It just warms my heart to see all those initials of helpful park lovers who are sharing their knowledge. It really does make a difference!  This list would only include 2 or 3 parks if you were depending on me. Look what we can do together! Awesome.

Keep the recommendations coming!

    My son loves handball! Great way to get kids outside to play even when we do not have enough players for a team sport. Bravo!
