Pickleball has taken the Twin Cities by storm, and 2025 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for the sport’s expansion across the metro area. As demand continues to surge, cities and private developers alike are racing to meet the needs of players with new courts, innovative indoor facilities, and upgraded outdoor spaces. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, a casual weekend warrior, or completely new to the game, there’s never been a better time to pick up a paddle in Minnesota.
This year, multiple large-scale indoor projects have been announced or are already under construction, including a unique 18-court food-and-pickleball complex in Apple Valley, a 24/7 facility in Lakeville, and major conversions of warehouse space in Woodbury. These venues are more than just places to play—they’re becoming social hubs, offering food, drinks, event rooms, and pro-level amenities designed to serve everyone from beginners to tournament players.
On the public side, cities like Burnsville and Woodbury are also investing in outdoor infrastructure, adding or upgrading courts with community input. Meanwhile, the success of the “Le Dome” airdome in Brooklyn Park has shown how creative solutions can bring year-round play to Minnesota, regardless of weather.
The rapid expansion isn’t just about court space—it’s about community. These new venues reflect how pickleball is helping Minnesotans stay active, connect socially, and reimagine how parks and public spaces can be used. As the sport continues to evolve, the Twin Cities is quickly establishing itself as a national leader in both recreational and competitive pickleball.
Below is a breakdown of the newest courts and facilities coming online in 2025, including locations, features, and estimated opening timelines. Whether you’re looking for your next league, a place to drill indoors, or somewhere to bring the whole family, this guide has you covered.
