Iowans close to the Nebraska border, take up pickleball with Smash Park’s new location

Iowans on the southwestern border of the state may want to check out the new Smash Park in Omaha, Nebraska.

The entertainment venue popular for its pickleball courts and combination of food and recreation announced the opening of its new location in the La Vista suburb of Omaha in a news release on Thursday.

The new location comes after Smash Park announced earlier this year its plans to open a location in a Columbus, Ohio suburb. Smash Park’s first location was in West Des Moines in 2018.

Smash Park donated $41,034.56 from their weeklong pre-opening celebration to the United Way of the Midlands Nebraska & Iowa Tornado Relief Fund to benefit the communities of Omaha, Council Bluffs, Elkhorn, Minden and Blair following destruction from tornadoes earlier this year, according to the news release.

Here’s what to know about the new Smash Park location.
