NJ has one of the country’s biggest pickleball venues now open
🔵 Indoor venues opening in NJ
🔵 Largest pickleball site in Northeast
🔵 Fastest-growing sport
ROBBINSVILLE — In time for harsh winter weather, New Jersey has become home to what is billed as the largest indoor pickleball facility in the Northeast.
Robbinsville Pickle House first opened in late fall with 19 indoor courts in a more than 60,000-square-foot location at 153 West Manor Way in Robbinsville.
There is also a kitchen and tap on-site, adding to the social atmosphere as the venue has already been hosting tournaments and league play.
Each of the Pickle House courts was designed as climate controlled with radiant heating.
Pickleball has been the fastest-growing sport in America for three years, according to a Sports and Fitness Industry Association Topline Participation Report released in November.
Participation in the sport surged 223.5% in that same three-year span, with increases in every single age group.
As for how many pickleball players there are in NJ, it’s been slower growth for the region.
In the Mid-Atlantic, considered to be New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and (for some reason) West Virginia, there were 675,000 known pickleballers as of last year.
Part of the slow growth could be linked to available spots to play, especially shielded from the outdoor elements.
This year, another massive indoor pickleball location has already been slated to open in North Jersey, in Wayne.
The 50,000-square-foot Sportime at Willowbrook Plaza would include 20 indoor courts, according to its developers.
