PKLYN Opens in Gowanus!
The new 18,000-square-foot venue is an ace for pickleball lovers in Brooklyn
Gowanus has lots of options for sporty types – canoeing, climbing, archery, shuffleboard, swimming, axe throwing…. Now, the neighborhood can add pickleball!
PKLYN, an 18,000-square-foot pickleball facility, will open soon at 80 4th Street. But PKLYN is not your parents’ pickleball court. The airy, sleekly designed venue offers five courts on a premium playing surface, 23-foot-high ceilings, skylights, strategic lighting, sound paneling, a full service bar and a curated menu of items from local vendors including Alidoro sandwiches and Threes Brewing beers.
Designed by Meyers+Associates, the venue also features multiple lounge areas and a central mezzanine with glass guardrails – a perfect perch for spectators. A 20-foot-wide garage door opens up for fresh air and lets in more natural lighting.
