A brand new, 34,000-square-foot indoor pickleball center is on its way to North San Antonio soon.

In case you missed it

Called The Picklr, the new facility is located at 16648 San Pedro Ave., inside the old Big Lots at the Park Oaks shopping center.

While construction may delay opening, franchise owner James Speer told Community Impact the center should open at the end of Q1 in early 2026.

“If everything goes right with construction, we’re hoping for that time frame,” Speer said.


The new facility is a part of a nationwide chain of locally-owned pickleball centers, with 17 clubs scattered throughout Texas, according to The Picklr’s website.

Speer is also the franchise owner of another location coming to Live Oak early next year, according to previous reporting from Community Impact.

The framework

San Antonio’s new facility will include the following amenities:
  • Nine courts
  • Outdoor surfacing
  • AI coaching
  • Pro shop
  • Private event
areas
  • League play
  • Tournaments
and drop-in play
  • Court
reservations
  • Two locker rooms and showers
There will also be a raised mezzanine overlooking all nine courts, according to Speer.


Additionally, an AI coaching system called Wingfield will be available for future members.

“It uses cameras around the court and gives you instant feedback on your game,” Speer said.

Professional tournaments, drop-in games, and more will be held at The Picklr as well.

Events like birthday parties, work conferences and more can also be held in the facility’s private meeting room areas.
