Dill Dinkers has opened an indoor pickleball facility in Atlanta's West End, offering a solution to the metro area's increasing demand for dedicated pickleball courts. During its soft opening "Community Free Week," the center attracted over 1,000 participants, highlighting the sport's surging popularity.
Atlanta currently boasts 1.1 million pickleball players, with participation growing at an impressive 51.8% annually. The new facility, renovated from a warehouse space by Ackerman & Co., provides a comprehensive solution for players seeking structured play and skill development.
Regional franchise developer Daniel Hardeman noted the overwhelming community support, with local businesses and neighborhood institutions enthusiastically welcoming the new venue. The White Street location represents the first of multiple planned facilities across Fulton and surrounding counties.
The center offers dedicated indoor courts, professional reservation systems, and a range of programming including clinics, lessons, leagues, and corporate events. An official ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for April 18th, marking the facility's formal grand opening.
This expansion reflects the rapidly evolving recreational sports landscape, providing infrastructure for a sport that continues to attract players across age groups and skill levels. By addressing court shortages and offering structured playing environments, Dill Dinkers is positioned to significantly impact Atlanta's pickleball ecosystem.
