Dink and Dine Pickle Park: A brand-new pickleball and dining venue is opening its first Arizona location at the Mesa Riverview shopping center. Dink and Dine Pickle Park, a 72,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor complex, is set to hold a preview event on July 30, 2025, and fully open by October 11, 2025.
A Unique Pickleball Experience
Dink and Dine Pickle Park combines professional-level pickleball courts with food, music, and social spaces. The facility will offer 13 pickleball courts—10 indoors and three outdoors. All courts will have cushioned floors, bright LED lighting, and video tech to enhance competitive play.
The venue is not just about pickleball. It will also have a full-service restaurant offering small plates, full meals, and seasonal items. The beverage menu will include a wide variety of drinks.
“We set out to build something that didn’t exist in the market—a place where world-class play meets hospitality, community and entertainment,” said Ken Gerdeau, co-founder of Dink and Dine Pickle Park. “Every detail at Dink and Dine is designed to deliver an unforgettable experience.”
More Than Just Sports
Guests will find fire pits, shaded outdoor patios, lawn games, and a pet-friendly park. Live music and special events will add to the entertainment. A clubhouse will provide private courts and spaces for celebrations like birthdays, team parties, and other gatherings.
The venue aims to create a fun place where both serious players and casual visitors can enjoy time on and off the court.
A Big Step for Pickleball in Arizona
Pickleball is growing quickly in Arizona and across the U.S. The opening of Dink and Dine shows how venues are adapting to match the sport’s popularity. Mesa’s location will likely draw players from all over the Phoenix area, offering a new place to compete, relax, and connect.
By combining sport, food, and social events, Dink and Dine could become a model for future pickleball venues nationwide.
