The pickleball craze in the Valley continues to expand, this time Tempe will be the home to the newest indoor facility AND it’s now also home to the first U.S. Picklemall location. The pickleball facility occupies the former At Home store at Arizona Mills; it’s a 104,000-square-foot business that’s now home to more than a dozen pickleball courts.

The grand opening for its first location is set for August 5.

“ [It’s] the first indoor pickleball facility in Arizona and it’s actually one of the few in the entire country and it's one of the largest,” said Mike Rodrigues, founder/CEO of Pickleball Kingdom. The indoor pickleball facility in Chandler has more than a dozen courts and is open every day.

The six indoor pickleball courts facility is open daily, 24 hours a day. “So we plan to have staff here till around 10 p.m. Then if you’d like to play after that, you can make a reservation on our app and you’ll be emailed a code where you can access [the] door, come in on your own, play for your time, and then leave on your own,” explained Cedric Shun, a head coach at the facility.
