Massive 20,000-Square-Foot Pickleplex Club Revolutionizes Pickleball in Barrie!

Pickleplex Club Revolutionizes Pickleball in Barrie: The City of Barrie has fully embraced pickleball and is about to hit a new level. Following the success of several outdoor courts at spots like Painswick Park, Barrie is preparing to open its first state-of-the-art indoor pickleball facility at Georgian Mall.

Located in the former Sears site, this new venue will cover 20,000 square feet and feature seven pro-level courts for casual players and serious competitors.

What’s Coming to Barrie?

The facility, named Pickleplex Club, is set to offer more than just courts. Positioned on the backside of HomeSense, which relocated to the Sears spot last year, the complex will cater to a growing community of players. The focus here? Providing the best possible conditions for play.

In a release on Friday, Pickleplex Club highlighted what makes this facility stand out:

  • Professional-Grade Courts: The courts will feature industry-leading surfaces that match the needs of advanced players, ensuring high-quality games.
  • Comfort and Control: With temperature regulation and indirect lighting, the environment will be built to keep players comfortable year-round, no matter the weather outside.
  • Community Focus: A venue where players of all levels, from beginners to pros, can improve their game, meet fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere.

Steven Fry Brings Pickleball Home

Steven Fry, a Barrie native and co-founder of Pickleplex Club, couldn’t be more excited to launch the facility. A lifelong pickleball enthusiast, Fry has been driven by the idea of building a community-centered venue in his hometown.

“We’ve created a welcoming, community-focused venue where people can have fun, improve their skills, and connect with others,” Fry noted in the release. For him, it’s not just about offering courts—it’s about creating an environment where people can thrive on and off the court.

Location and Grand Opening

The facility is located at 521 Bayfield Street, in the heart of Georgian Mall. The Pickleplex team has yet to announce an official opening date, but they’ve confirmed it will be later this year. A grand opening event is expected to draw the attention of local players and enthusiasts, as Barrie’s pickleball scene continues to grow.

Once open, Pickleplex Club is set to be a game-changer for pickleball in Barrie, offering the community a top-tier indoor venue and a space that could become the go-to for all things pickleball in the region.
