By Bret Marbach Boca racket sport enthusiasts will have a new home court in 2026 as ground breaks on Boca Paddle’s 100,000 square foot...

Pickleball and padel players on Florida's southeastern coast have reason to smile.  According to a June 18 story in The Palm Beach Post, a state-of-the-art luxury paddle club, Boca Paddle by CityPickle, is coming to Boca Raton in early 2026.

In the city where palm trees sway and tennis once reigned, a new sound is rising: the pop of a pickleball. On Tuesday, Boca Raton broke ground on Boca Paddle, a sleek, climate-controlled club that blends luxury, sport and community into one expansive 100,000-square-foot playground.

The loud pop of plastic pickle balls hitting the asphalt might be a deterrent for some luxury buyers. For others, the sport is such a draw that high-end condo towers are adding courts for pickleball — and its cousin, padel — precisely to appeal to buyers.

The indoor complex promises to revolutionize how pickleball is played in South Florida, offering players a climate-controlled environment year-round.

Not your typical groundbreaking as Boca Paddle’s team, investors, players and public officials turned out en masse for the new public indoor/outdoor pickleball and padel center’s official start. A red carpet led up to a sturdy open tent complete with fans and refreshments, courtesy of Farmer’s Table, the restaurant provider for the new 25 court facility.

Boca Paddle by CityPickle said its groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 10 in a 100,000-square-foot facility hosting Boca Raton’s first climate-controlled indoor pickleball and paddle facility.

Boca Raton is getting a major upgrade to its paddle sports scene as Boca Paddle, in partnership with CityPickle, prepares to open a 100,000-square-foot indoor racquet sports complex.
