Pickleball and padel players on Florida's southeastern coast have reason to smile. 

According to a June 18 story in The Palm Beach Post, a state-of-the-art luxury paddle club, Boca Paddle by CityPickle, is coming to Boca Raton in early 2026.

Writer Jasmine Fernández reports that the facility will feature 25 courts, including 14 indoor pickleball courts and six padel courts, along with wellness amenities, coworking space, a pro shop, cold plunges, saunas and a full-service restaurant.

"Boca Raton, I think, like a lot of cities around the country, realized a few years ago that there was a massive shortage of supply relative to the exploding demand for pickleball," said Brian Levine, co-founder of Boca Paddle and a Boca Raton resident.

Fernández explained that Boca Paddle will help solve a glaring problem: a shortage of climate-controlled facilities in a part of the country where weather conditions like extreme heat and precipation can affect outdoor play opportunities from time to time.

This project will fix that, and create a prime gathering spot along the way.

"Despite the fact that the game has exploded and it's incredibly popular in Boca Raton, one of the things that we've lacked is sort of a home to play at," explained Levine, a board member of the United Pickleball Association. "We often go to different courts on different days, and we're always trying to coordinate our schedules. We think Boca Paddle Club is going to be that home."

The facility will also cater to players of every skill level.

"Everyone's going to be welcome at Boca Paddle," emphasized Levine. "It's a home for players of all ages and abilities. It doesn't matter if you're a first timer or a literal professional, because there will be professionals there."

Programming on-site will include clinics, lessons, open play, leagues and tournaments.

"The facility will host more than 200 hours of daily court time," writes Fernández.  "Once open, there will be courts dedicated to people playing for their first time."

Sounds perfect, right?

"You could have pros there advising them and helping them improve," noted Levine. "The culture of pickleball is that you have people at different levels all sort of playing together, and it's one of the neat things."
