Indoor pickleball facility under construction in Ybor City

A 28,000-square-foot indoor pickleball facility is under construction and slated to open in early summer in the Gas Worx mixed-use development in Ybor City.

According to a news release, the seven-court venue, located at 1701 E. Second Ave., is being developed by Tampa Pickleball Crew, led by co-founders Susan Forsyth, Jennifer Plummer, Dené Williamson and Kayla Goldman. They say it will be the city’s first indoor establishment solely dedicated to pickleball, which, with more than 36.5 million players in 2022, has become the nation’s fastest-growing sport.
