Boca Paddle by CityPickle said its groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 10 in a 100,000-square-foot facility hosting Boca Raton’s first climate-controlled indoor pickleball and paddle facility.
The event included opening remarks by the city’s Mayor Scott Singer alongside the team developing and managing Boca Paddle with industry leaders like Butters Construction, CityPickle, and Farmer’s Table, the company stated.
Boca Raton pickleball community leaders and residents Stewart Davis and Brian Levine are also part of the leadership team, with the latter being a Board Member of United Pickleball Association, the parent company of the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball, it said.
“This groundbreaking facility positions Boca Raton to cement its status as the paddle capital of the world,” said Mr. Levine. “Of the current top 10 ranked pickleball players globally, seven reside in the Boca Raton area. And that is a function of the sheer density of passionate pickleball players that reside in our community.”
The venue will feature 25 world-class courts available year-around, 19 for pickleball and 6 for paddle, and its luxury-style design aims to meet these sports’ increasing demand, the company announced.
