In 2017, fewer than half of the largest U.S. cities offered formalized pickleball courts.
"We have found New York City parks to really understand the popularity of pickleball and also the need for more courts," said Cannon.
We're excited to meet the increasing demand and bring Pickleball Kingdom's premier indoor pickleball to the masses," said Ace Rodrigues, founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom.
Pickleball courts are also popping up at gyms throughout the country.
Life Time, an "athletic country club," currently boasts almost 700 pickleball courts across its 170 U.S. locations.
