Stamford Town Center to Open Pickleball America, the Largest Indoor Pickleball Center in the U.S.

Pickleball is coming to the Stamford Town Center shopping mall. A group of local entrepreneurs is repurposing the old Saks Off Fifth space to create Pickleball America, the largest indoor pickleball center in the country, with 28 courts. With outdoor pickleball courts leading to complaints from neighbors, indoor pickleball facilities offer a solution to court space scarcity.

Pickleball's popularity has been attributed to its ability to provide a good workout while creating a sense of camaraderie among players. The growth of the sport has been driven by people of all ages, with players as young as 20 and as old as 80 enjoying the game. The sport's unique appeal has helped position it as a wellness and entertainment option for people of all ages.

The move to create Pickleball America at Stamford Town Center is part of a larger effort by the mall's owners to position it as a regional wellness and entertainment center. With millions of Americans passionate about pickleball and court space in high demand, indoor pickleball facilities like Pickleball America have the potential to become a destination, driving foot traffic through the mall.
