The 32,500-square-foot space boasts an indoor pickleball experience with eight individually contained courts and industrial-sized doors to open, weather permitting. Courts were built using state-of-the-art cushion technology and professional pickleball lighting. Stop by the pickleball cottage, which features a pro shop, porch overlooking center court, 12-seat bar with televisions, and complimentary showers and lockers. Courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 5 p.m. Monday–Friday and all day on the weekends. Cosmic pickleball takes place Friday and Saturday, 9 p.m.–12 a.m.

 

The food and beverage menus at Painted Pickle feature thoughtfully curated options. Choose from salads, bowls, sandwiches, sushi rolls and small plates. Sommeliers, wine educators and mixologists curated the cocktail, wine and beer lists. Enjoy classics; non-alcoholic options; and cheeky signature drinks like License to Dill, which features a pickle shrub.
