GALLERY: Pickle City USA hosts grand opening celebration in north Fort Worth

Pickle City USA held a grand opening celebration and a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 10 in north Fort Worth.

The details: Pickle City USA has 16 pickleball courts, with 10 indoor and six outdoor courts. The full-service gym features equipment and wellness amenities such as a sauna, red light therapy and cold plunge, said Hannah McKeever, head of membership and corporate sales.

The Bench, a sports bar inside the facility, is open to the public, as well as the pro shop, regardless of membership, she said.

The background: The original grand opening celebration was set for Jan. 31, but was postponed due to Winter Storm Fern.

All the events planned for that day, including an acoustic performance by country music artist Chris Cagle, still happened on June 10.

Before the concert started, McKeever said there were about 600 guests at the facility.
