The Picklr Expands to Tucson: In an exciting development for Tucson’s growing pickleball scene, The Picklr, a Utah-based pickleball facility, has announced plans to open a 30,000-square-foot venue in the Oro Valley Marketplace. Set to debut in the spring, the location will feature 11 courts, including a championship-sized court. Along with its expansive courts, the facility will offer a pro shop and private event spaces, making it a one-stop destination for players.
