There's no question about it, the popularity of pickleball has grown and continues to grow tremendously in the Bay Area. Some players say there just aren't enough pickleball courts for everyone who wants to play.
Justin Woo, a pickleball player who plays at the Palo Alto Pickleball Club, says on any given morning the courts could all be taken up at Mitchell Park.
That appears to be changing. On July 11, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department is set to open three indoor pickleball courts at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. People can reserve them starting July 4. Mike Fox is the general manager for an area in the South Bay set to open soon. It's called the Hub San Jose - an indoor facility with Pickleball courts."The Bay Area has seen an explosion of pickleball and pickleball players, the community here is super excited," Fox said.
The facility has event spaces for special occasions like birthdays and team gatherings. Courts are designed for different player levels.
