- New $6 million entertainment facility to be built on Padre Island
- Owner and CEO of Marker 37, Mitchell Kalogridis, addressed some residents concerns about it
- Construction is tentatively set to start in December 2024
It was recently announced that a large $6 million entertainment complex will be built just south of Marker 37 Marina on Padre Island. The facility will include multiple amenities such as a rooftop restaurant and bar, eight pickle ball courts, 20 corn hole setups, a splash pad, a giant movie screen, and a beautiful view of the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi.
Many people are excited about this announcement—especially some local pickle ball players.
KRIS 6 News “A center of activity where everybody will be able to go. And, not only play pickle ball but it’s got so many other amenities. It’s just gonna be perfect. I think it’s going to be very well received by everybody,” David Eckenrode said.
There are currently no full pickle ball courts on the island. Players usually just put up nets on basketball courts and play. These people are very happy about the new Marker 37 facility.
