‘State-of-the art’ pickleball facility coming to South Florida

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Pickleball aficionados will soon have a chance to visit the world’s first pickleball stadium, right in their own backyard.

According to a media release, The Fort is partnering with the city of Fort Lauderdale to build a brand new venue where pickleball players can choose from 43 professional courts and even experience the world’s first pickleball stadium.

The Fort is expected to break ground near Fort Lauderdale International Airport within Snyder Park. It is expected to include a 4,000 sq. ft. event space, 14 weatherproof courts, live music and food and drinks.

Fort Lauderdale’s Mayor Dean Trantalis expressed his enthusiasm with the public-private partnership to build the new facility.

The grand opening for The Fort is expected sometime in 2024.
