The Houstonian Club Announces the Opening of a State-of-the-Art Pickleball Complex

The brand new Pickleball Complex offers play for up to 32 players, stadium-style seating for 300, and protection from the elements by a Novasheild structure.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, June 28, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Houstonian Club, a leading fitness and wellness facility in Houston, recently announced the opening of its newly constructed Pickleball Complex. The new courts address the growing interest in pickleball among members.

Pickleball, recently named America's fastest-growing sport, has seen a surge in popularity. The game, which combines tennis, badminton, and ping-pong elements, provides an engaging experience for players of all ages and skill levels. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, the demand for pickleball courts will require $900 million in construction and over 25,000 new courts in the next few years.

The new 28,000-square-foot complex at The Houstonian Club includes eight courts, allowing 32 people to play simultaneously. Designed by Design Workshop and built by Forney Construction, the project took eight months to complete.

"We are thrilled to offer this new amenity to members of The Houstonian Club," says Cher Harris, Club General Manager. "The courts will provide a fantastic recreational and social option for members and registered hotel guests of all ages and skill levels."

Four courts offer open-air play, while the other four are covered with a custom-built waterproof structure featuring Novasheild shade material. The Houstonian partnered with USA Shade to ensure year-round comfort and protection for all players, shielding them from weather elements, including harmful UV rays.

The Pickleball Complex also features stadium-style seating for 300, dedicated restroom facilities, and a retail space named The Courtside Pro Shop. The shop offers grab-and-go snacks, including Antone's Po’ Boy sandwiches, overnight oats, yogurt parfaits, chips, trail mix, beef jerky, and an assortment of canned alcoholic beverages. It also provides a full range of racquet sports items, including shoes, apparel, and equipment for pickleball, tennis, and padel.

The Houstonian Club's pickleball coordinator, Anthony Bright, leads a dedicated team of instructors to support play, lessons, and the growing interest in the sport. Members are invited to use the courts for daily and weekly programming, semi-private or private lessons, and private events.
