Madison may soon be getting two new indoor pickleball facilities! At an April 7, 2025 meeting, the Madison Plan Commission heard two requests to approve conditional uses for new indoor pickleball facilities to move forward, one on the east side and one on the west side of the city.
Dill Dinkers: 5004 Tradewinds Parkway, Madison, WI, 53718
This indoor pickleball facility would go into a portion of an existing multi-tenant industrial building on Madison’s east side. This pickleball facility would contain 10 courts, office space, and a retail shop. It would occupy over 26,000 square feet of the building. The site would have 65 parking stalls and there would also be street parking available along Tradewinds Parkway. In addition, this facility would also be accessible by bike and bus. The proposed hours of operation would be seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. If all goes according to plan, this facility is expected to open in September 2025.
Court and Cork: 8701 Blackhawk Rd., Madison, WI, 53717
This indoor pickleball facility would be constructed from scratch on Madison’s west side. This facility would be a one-story, 31,000 square-foot building. There would be 10 indoor courts and one outdoor court. It would also contain a restaurant-tavern (with a full bar) inside the building, as well as an outdoor eating area located along Blackhawk Road. A parking lot with 76 stalls would be located behind the building. The indoor and outdoor pickleball courts would be open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The restaurant-tavern would be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, and the outdoor eating area would have the same operating hours as the pickleball courts. If all goes according to plan, the building is expected to be substantially completed by Summer 2025.
