“Pickleplex is an inclusive community for people who love to play pickleball,” said Gina Facca, chief operating officer of Pickleplex Social Club and co-owner/operator of the Windsor venue, during a grand opening celebration on Friday.

At 18,000 square feet, the facility has six dedicated pickleball courts, two ping-pong and cornhole areas, and a party room for birthday celebrations and corporate events. The pickleplex is also fully licensed.

“We really are going to be the social hub of the community,” Facca said.

“There are so many people out there that want to know what pickleball is but have never had the opportunity to play. We are the place to be.”

Programming includes social open play, open play by skill level, tournaments, league play, lessons, and clinics. Coaching staff are on hand to teach beginners.

The Windsor club is the company’s third location in Ontario. An additional five locations are scheduled to open in the province before the end of the summer.

Ward 8 Coun. Gary Kaschak, who represents the east Windsor neighbourhood, applauded the facility’s founders for bringing more recreational space to the city.

“This is what we want in the community,” Kaschak said. “The city can’t provide everything.
