Brevard County’s first permanent indoor pickleball facility is scheduled for this spring.
Dil Dinker Pickleball, “a leading provider of purpose-built indoor pickleball facilities,” is targeting May to open its first Brevard location. Dildinkar locations may be added to the Space Coast.
Lanette Rosales, area developer for Dill Dinkers, said the goal is to bring 10 indoor pickleball facilities to the area between Daytona Beach and Vero Beach over the next 10 years.
“We have an indoor facility here where they convert their gym floors, but what we are offering to the community is a dedicated indoor facility,” Rosales said. “We know that in Florida, when it’s 90, 100 degrees outside, bodies don’t regenerate. We want to spread the love of pickleball to play every day.”
Where is Brevard’s first Dil Dinker located and when will it open?
Located at Satellite Beach at 1071 South Patrick Drive, next to the Post Office and the David R. Schechter Community Center.
The opening of the 8 Coast facility is scheduled for May. Rosales works with local vendors, especially food trucks that can be set up outside the facility.
Those interested should contact Rosales at lrosales@dilldinkers.com.
She is scouting other areas of Brevard for additional Dill Dinker locations.
How much does it cost to play Dildinker Pickleball?
Pricing is not set, but there are membership options and open play fees.
Potential players are encouraged to check out the Dill Dinkers website in the coming months. Pricing models should be released at the end of February or early March.
Membership is capped at 800 to avoid overcrowding the court and try to give players the opportunity to get playing time when they want it. There’s also special pricing for Founder’s Club memberships, which includes the first few hundred people to sign up.
What is Dildinker Pickleball?
The national company has dozens of locations in nine states.
Currently, the only Florida location is in Sarasota. The company has approximately 380 locations in development. A couple who caught the “pickleball bug” are opening Maryland’s first Dill Dinker in 2022.
Dill Dinkers welcomes players of all skill levels. Each club offers its own indoor court with fences and outdoor surfaces, event space and ball machines. We also have opportunities to rent space for clinics, private and semi-private lessons, leagues, and private events.
