Virginia Beach is preparing to open The Palace of Pickleball, an indoor facility offering courts, programs, and amenities to meet the rising popularity of pickleball in the region. The complex features seven courts, community events, and sponsorship opportunities, providing a dedicated space for players of all skill levels. Scheduled for January 2025, the venue aims to foster community engagement and promote the sport’s growth in Virginia Beach, with a grand fundraising event held in anticipation of the opening.

Virginia Beach is set to welcome a new indoor pickleball complex named “The Palace of Pickleball” in January 2025. The facility, located at 4239 Holland Road in the Timberlake area, will be the first true indoor pickleball venue in the region, addressing a growing demand for indoor courts as the sport continues to gain popularity.

The Palace of Pickleball will encompass 18,000 square feet of space that includes seven pickleball courts, two locker rooms, and a conference room designed for corporate events. Additional amenities such as vending machines and a retail shop will enhance the overall experience for players and visitors. The interior design will feature a coastal theme that embodies the spirit of Virginia Beach.

Lisa Cardona, the owner of The Palace of Pickleball, was inspired to create this complex due to her personal passion for the game and a suggestion from a close friend. This venture comes as there is an evident shortage of indoor facilities for pickleball enthusiasts in the area, leading to the need for a dedicated space where players can practice, play, and connect with others.

To cater to various skill levels and interests, the facility will host a variety of programs and events. Planned offerings include clinics, leagues, tournaments, lessons, open play sessions, camps, and social gatherings, ensuring a comprehensive pickleball experience for members and guests alike. For those interested in participating in open play sessions without a membership, a fee of $15 will apply, alongside various annual membership options available for frequent players.

The Palace of Pickleball will also provide sponsorship opportunities, including options for court naming rights and sponsorship for tournaments and leagues, promoting community engagement and support for the new facility.

In anticipation of the grand opening, The Palace of Pickleball is hosting a fundraising event called the Dink or Treat Tournament on Saturday, designed to raise awareness and excitement about the facility. Occurring at Lynnhaven Park, located at 1246 Bayne Drive in Virginia Beach, the tournament will feature a costume contest, raffles, and friendly competition among participants. The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. at a participation cost of $49. Enthusiasts keen on joining the tournament can find details at palaceofpickleball.com/halloween.

The establishment of The Palace of Pickleball represents a significant step forward in making the emerging sport more accessible in Virginia Beach. With the increasing interest in pickleball, particularly among adults and seniors, this facility not only caters to competitive players but also fosters a welcoming community atmosphere for all individuals looking to enjoy the game.

The slated opening of The Palace of Pickleball in January 2025 is a much-anticipated event for the community, promising to enhance local sports offerings and provide a vibrant environment for pickleball enthusiasts to thrive.
