In Denver, plans are underway to temporarily convert a vacant lot into pickleball courts, while Sportime Pickleball is constructing a 30,000-square-foot indoor facility in Yorktown, set to open in Fall 2025. Complications in Columbus have led the Columbus Pickleball Association to change locations for their planned courts, now set to build 28 outdoor courts at a new downtown site. Lubbock, Texas has opened a new pickleball facility funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. Additionally, the Pickleball Guam Association recently held a successful tournament and clinic, raising funds for a local school and highlighting the sport's community-building potential.
