As the popularity of pickleball continues to rise, a Utah-based franchise is bringing a new indoor facility in northern Utah County this weekend.

The Picklr, an indoor pickleball franchise headquartered in Kaysville, open their new 40,000-square foot, 13-court facility on Saturday.

According to a press release issued on June 12, The Picklr Lehi – which actually sits in Saratoga Springs, will be one of their largest facilities across the country.

The new location will mark The Picklr’s first Utah County facility, and its eighth across the state – as well as their facilities in 29 other states.

Future openings are also planned for Bluffdale later this year, and in Spanish Fork sometime next year, according to the release.

The Picklr Lehi will sit in a newly built, 40-foot-high roof building located at 629 N. Saratoga Road, just south of Pioneer Crossing – near the border of Lehi and Saratoga Springs.

The facility will feature enhanced amenities like custom sound baffling at 25 feet high, full locker rooms and showers, a warm-up and cool-down area, a spacious player’s lounge, a private event room, as well as a state-of-the-art podcast room, the release states.

According to a November 2024 report by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, pickleball’s popularity has grown by 223.5% over the past three years.

Not only has the sport taken the country by storm, the Beehive State also appears to be a hotbed for pickleball.

A study conducted by Action Network to determine which states are the most pickleball-obsessed found Utah at number 2 on the list.

The factors were based on the number of places to play pickleball, the state’s Google search volume for pickleball-related terms, and the Google Trends ranking for interest in pickleball by state.

The Picklr Lehi Franchise owners said opening a facility in Utah County is a longtime dream, turned into reality.

“As we get ready to open our doors to the community, we are excited to offer the best-in-class indoor pickleball experience that Utah County has ever had,” said Dave Norton and Greg Larsen, The Picklr Lehi Franchise Owners in a statement. “The Picklr takes indoor pickleball to the next level, and we are excited to bring this experience to the Utah County community.”

Their grand opening celebration is slated for Saturday, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., and is open to the public to tour and experience the new facility.
