Boca Paddle by CityPickle is set to open its new Boca Raton facility on November 18, 2026. The massive site will feature 25 courts to meet the growing demand for climate-controlled play in South Florida.
Why it matters
The project addresses a shortage of covered courts in the region, allowing players to maintain year-round play regardless of weather conditions. It serves as a significant expansion of regional sports infrastructure through a public-private partnership.
The $20 million facility spans 100,000 square feet and includes 16 indoor climate-controlled courts plus a 1,000-seat stadium court. The club expects to provide over 200 hours of daily court time for members and guests.
