Pickleball enthusiasts on the North Side will soon have more options to play the country’s fastest-growing sport.
Real estate developer Sterling Bay and pickleball enterprise Big City Pickle on Friday announced a partnership to put 11 pickleball courts at 1685 N. Throop St.
"Sterling Bay has decided to expand its commitment to community play at Lincoln Yards by delivering pickleball courts while we work to bring the site’s permanent parks and recreational spaces to life," Sterling Bay CEO Andy Gloor said in a news release. The new pickleball courts will be next to Sterling Bay’s Fleet Fields, three turf soccer fields that opened in 2019. Gloor said one factor in opening the pickleball courts was seeing "tens of thousands of Chicagoans" flock to those soccer fields in the last four years.
The new courts join other indoor and outdoor pickleball venues popping up across the city as the sport becomes more popular.
