Scottsdale Welcomes Largest Pickleball Facility
Scottsdale, Arizona is set to become home to one of the largest pickleball facilities in the world, developed by PURE Pickleball and Caliber.
Scottsdale, Arizona is about to become a pickleball paradise with the announcement of one of the largest pickleball facilities in the world. PURE Pickleball™ has partnered with real estate investor Caliber to develop an impressive 11-acre site near Talking Stick Resort & Casino™, strategically located at the heart of the most active pickleball player community in the sport. This collaboration aims to create a world-class pickleball facility that will put Scottsdale on the map as a premier sports and tourism destination.
The ambitious project will feature 28 oversized indoor pickleball courts, boasting post-tension construction and premium cushion surfacing. The courts will be privately gated, fenced, and equipped with professional indirect lighting and high-quality video cameras for streaming matches and recording games. The centerpiece of the facility will be a groundbreaking Championship Court, measuring 50’x70′, complete with a wrap-around 500-seat stadium and state-of-the-art production capabilities for televised matches. Additionally, the facility will house a pro shop, café, locker rooms for both men and women, and private event spaces.
The excitement surrounding this development extends beyond just the pickleball community. USA Pickleball, the National Governing Body for the sport, has chosen PURE Pickleball as their intended future home, permanent headquarters, and official National Training Center. This partnership will further solidify Arizona’s reputation as a hub for pickleball enthusiasts and athletes.
Phase 1 of the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024, positioning PURE Pickleball as the largest pickleball facility in Arizona and one of the largest in the world. Subsequent phases will include outdoor courts, a member clubhouse, rooftop courts for special events, a gym, childcare and tutoring services, and other amenities to be announced.
The development of this pickleball facility is a testament to the growing popularity and demand for the sport. With 48 million people projected to play pickleball this year alone, Scottsdale, Arizona is set to become the ultimate destination for pickleball enthusiasts of all levels. Stay tuned for this exciting venture that will redefine the pickleball experience and attract visitors from around the globe. https://usapickleball.org/news/one-of-the-largest-pickleball-facilities-in-the-world-coming-to-scottsdale/
