Introducing CityPickle Boca. CityPickle Breaks Ground on the Nation’s Premier Racquet Facility

Boca Paddle by CityPickle will have 25 world class courts - 19 for pickleball and 6 for padel.

On June 10, we broke ground on more than a facility. With Boca Paddle by CityPickle, we’re launching a new era for racquet sports. Our 100,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art luxury paddle club is designed to be a home for all players - from first-timers to literal professionals - and will offer unrivaled amenities. Amenities include spacious locker rooms with saunas and cold plunge pools, a dedicated warm-up and stretching zone, a workspace lounge with privacy booths for calls, an extensive pro shop with a curated selection of merchandise, and a full-service restaurant and bar. 

Our Boca Paddle partners are the Dream Team of South Florida and include Butters Construction, Boca Raton’s leading real estate developer; Farmer’s Table, Boca’s beloved farm-to-table restaurant; and local pickleball community leaders and Boca Raton residents Stewart Davis and Brian Levine. Brian is a Board Member of United Pickleball Association, the parent company of the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball and explains, “This groundbreaking facility positions Boca Raton to cement its status as the paddle capital of the world.”

Our elite roster of investors reads like the Who’s Who of Pickleball and includes top-ranked professional pickleball players and local residents Anna Bright, Ben Johns, JW Johnson, Jorja Johnson, and Gabriel Tardio; Life Time, the leading national operator of over 160 athletic country clubs; and industry visionaries Al Tylis (Brooklyn Pickleball Team), Richard Chaifetz (The St. Louis Shock®), and Ron Saslow (Chicago Slice).

Mary Cannon, CityPickle Co-founder and Co-CEO shares, “Alongside our incredible South Florida partners, we’re proud to bring the CityPickle experience to Boca Raton in a way that’s never been done before.”

CityPickle Co-Founder and Co-CEO Erica Desai adds, “This is a landmark project for the pickleball and padel community and a true testament to the sport’s explosive growth in Palm Beach County. We’re thrilled that CityPickle fans — from across the country and our hometown of New York City — will now have a luxe new home to play when visiting South Florida.”

Fourteen pickleball courts and two padel courts will be indoors offering climate-controlled comfort. The outdoor courts will be covered, ensuring shade and protection for all-weather play. The club’s carefully designed features, including the covered outdoor stadium court and sophisticated acoustic technology, enhance the playing experience and are ideal for tournaments and daily programming including open play, clinics, private lessons, and leagues for all ages and skill levels.
