City Pickle USA offers indoor, outdoor courts for play in north Fort Worth

City Pickle USA is now open in Fort Worth.

Winter Storm Fern delayed the planned grand opening and a rescheduled date for that event is still pending, said Hannah McKeever, head of membership and corporate sales.

The facility hosted a members-only event Feb. 1 and opened to the public Feb. 2.

The details: City Pickle USA has 16 pickleball courts with 10 indoor and six outdoor courts. The first day the outdoor courts could be used was Feb. 16, as cold weather prevented the staff from getting the paint for the lines finished.

The full-service gym features equipment and wellness amenities such as a sauna, red light therapy and cold plunge, McKeever said.

The facility has a bar and pro shop, both open to the public regardless of membership, she said. There are also corn hole and a chipping green amenities outside.
