Three DecoTurf hard courts — the surface used at international tournaments — are open from 6:00 to 23:00. The venue is fully air-conditioned, so you can play whatever the weather or season.

CONCEPT

Concept

Just as the universe was born from the Big Bang, a new pickleball culture will spread from this place and grow into a great movement. We named this place with that vision in mind.

One small play.One small dink.

These small moments accumulate into great energy, creating a new sports culture.

THE PICKLE BANG THEORY aims to be the place where the "Big Bang of Pickleball" is born.

From a small dink to a big movement.
