This 50,000-square-foot facility will offer 16 indoor courts, providing residents with access to a world-class pickleball experience.
Pickleball, a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, has been rapidly growing in popularity across the country. Michigan, in particular, has seen a surge in interest, with participation nearly doubling in 2022 alone. The state even hosts one of the largest professional pickleball tournaments in the country, the Beer City Open, which draws in thousands of spectators and offers a substantial prize purse.
The Northville Pickleball Club aims to be one of the premier facilities in the country, offering daily open play, level-specific play, clinics, a pro shop, cafe, meeting rooms, and a player lounge. The facility is being developed by a partnership between Ward Church, private investors, and public input, with a focus on creating a welcoming community for players of all skill levels.
The project is spearheaded by local residents Mike Schmitt and Mike Kowalczyk, along with Christy Howden, the owner of Wolverine Pickleball in Ann Arbor. Howden’s experience in developing a successful pickleball facility will undoubtedly contribute to the success of the Northville complex.
