For those old enough to remember, community rec centers and racquetball courts were cacophonous, enclosed spaces where the only beverage on tap came from a communal water fountain. Then along came pickleball courts — and voilà, Aperol spritzes, and charcuterie now await courtside.
Luxury retailers have jumped on the trend, with Neiman Marcus recently releasing a luxurious paddle set — Sainty + Eric Retro Pickleball Set — named after Fort Worth actors and producers Sainty and Eric Nelsen. The package features two timelessly designed paddles wrapped in faux leather, paddle covers, and two balls. Whether you’re dinking paddles or cocktail glasses, these are the Best Pickleball Courts in Fort Worth.
