I guess this pickleball fad is here to stay… At least this new place coming to Denver sure hopes so!

The Picklr Aurora has leased a new location in the Southlands Mall in Aurora, and plans to open a huge new facility this March.

The facility will be 21,000-square-feet and will include eight courts, a pro shop, private event space, and food and beverage service. Two of the courts will be designated as “championship” courts and host competitions.

The Picklr already has two locations in Colorado, in Loveland and Thornton, and another is under development in Fort Collins.
