Pickleball’s rapid growth has fueled an expansion of indoor facilities across Colorado. The Picklr, a leading indoor pickleball brand, has two locations open and plans to launch four more in the Denver metro area by year’s end. The new Aurora location is set to open on April 19.
Bringing More Courts to Colorado
Kyle Yates, a pickleball Hall of Famer and managing partner at The Picklr, moved to Colorado in 2023 to help grow the sport. “One of our main missions at The Picklr is to make Colorado a top three pickleball state in the country,” Yates said. “And I think the best way to do that is to start by providing top-notch facilities for people to play.”
With unpredictable weather in the region, indoor courts offer a reliable playing environment. “Colorado is a fantastic state for indoor pickleball,” Yates said. “There’s a lot of outdoorsy, active people, but the weather can be a little iffy at times, so having an indoor option where pickleball is honestly best played is great for the local community.”
Technology and Top Coaching
The Picklr is integrating advanced technology into its facilities, including Wingfield machines that provide AI-driven feedback and plans to implement the Duper rating system.
Beyond technology, The Picklr emphasizes quality instruction. “Our teaching pro staff is the best in the state,” said owner JP Parker. “So I think if you want to get better at pickleball, this is the place to be.”
More Growth Ahead
With new locations in Aurora and Denver Iliff opening soon, The Picklr continues expanding to meet the demand for indoor courts. The company’s rapid growth reflects pickleball’s increasing popularity across Colorado.
