SPORTIME Pickleball Announces Latest Location in Englewood, New Jersey, Its Fourth Location in the New York-Metro Area
Englewood Location joins already announced Armonk & Westbury, New York and Wayne, New Jersey Locations in SPORTIME’s expansion goal of 200+ dedicated indoor pickleball courts by 2030
For Immediate Release — New York, April 3: Sportime Pickleball announced today that it has signed a long-term lease for 62 Rte. 4 E in Englewood, New Jersey; currently City Sports on 4. SPORTIME Pickleball Englewood is SPORTIME’s fourth announced location and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2024. Featuring 12 dedicated indoor courts, a pro shop, and a lounge, Sportime Pickleball Englewood will be the second-largest indoor pickleball facility in New Jersey, trailing only Sportime Pickleball Wayne, which, when open, will boast 18 courts. The new facility will bring Sportime Pickleball’s dedicated, indoor, pickleball court total to 66, including dedicated courts currently operated under the Sportime brand and those under construction, all in the New York-metro area.
“We are excited to announce our newest SPORTIME Pickleball location in Englewood” said Claude Okin, President & CEO of SPORTIME. “With four leases signed and more coming soon, our goal is for SPORTIME to be the leading pickleball provider in the tristate area. Like our tennis and sports locations, which we have operated in our region since 1994, SPORTIME Pickleball locations will provide the highest quality facilities and programs and the best coaches, serving players of all ages and levels for decades to come.”
SPORTIME Pickleball Englewood will feature 12, dedicated, indoor pickleball courts. Just minutes over the George Washington Bridge, the location is expected to serve both the populous Northern New Jersey market and pickleball enthusiasts from New York City. No facility of its size and quality currently exists in the market.
“Our latest location in Englewood is another building block towards SPORTIME Pickleball’s aspiration to be the leader in this space. SPORTIME will provide the absolute best player experience in Northern New Jersey and, of course, to the residents of Englewood,” said Daniel Silvermintz, a SPORTIME Pickleball Principal and Englewood resident.
SPORTIME Pickleball’s four signed leases represent over 150,000 square feet and 66 indoor courts. The company is actively negotiating other agreements throughout the 5 boroughs of New York City, as well as in prime locations in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
“Our entire team is thrilled to be able to bring our brand of architecture and interior design to these facilities and to help grow the Sportime Pickleball brand with an elevated level of design and interior aesthetic,” said Joe Yacobellis, Senior Associate at Mojo Stumer Associates, the architect of record for Sportime Pickleball Englewood.
