The time has finally arrived. PKL Park is now open next to Unity Park. Here’s your ultimate guide to this new experience, which we think is a slam dunk dink.
Growing the sport of pickleball
The heart of PKL Park is, of course, the eight professional-grade pickleball courts. There is an on-site shop for all your pickleball-playing needs, and pros available to help you improve your game.
Plus, today only, some of the best pickleball players in the world(we’re talking top 25 rankings) will hit the courts for an exhibition from 4 to 6 p.m.
Plus, the cocktail menu boasts themed dinksdrinks.
Our top picks: the Rally Up Mary (with a chicken wing) + the smores espresso martini.

In the space between the buildings and the pickleball courts, you’ll find a 10,000-sqft green space, a large stage for live music and other events, and a 20-ft outdoor screen.

Don’t sleep on the food at PKL Park. This isn’t your average “entertainment complex” cuisine. My No. 1 must-order is actually the donut bites for dessert.
