Description

In the heart of Punta Gorda, a dream was born—a vision to create a place where community, passion and the love for pickleball converge. This dream laid the foundation for what is now known as the PicklePlex® of Punta Gorda, a premier destination for pickleball enthusiasts from all walks of life. Our journey began with a simple idea: to provide a welcoming, high-quality facility dedicated to the fastest-growing sport in the nation—pickleball. From the outset, our mission was clear: to foster a vibrant community where the spirit of the game could thrive, where friendships would be forged and where the joy of competition could be experienced by all, regardless of age or skill level. The PicklePlex® of Punta Gorda is more than just a collection of courts; it's a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together for a common cause. Through tireless efforts, generous donations and an unwavering belief in our vision, we transformed an idea into reality. Today, the PicklePlex® boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including spectator shade structures, and professional-grade courts where players can hone their skills, compete in tournaments, or simply enjoy a friendly game under the Florida sun. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating as a guest of Florida SouthWestern State College and are supported by membership fees, donations, and events.
