Frankfort Village Board Vote Will Make Pickleball Fans Happy

FRANKFORT, IL — Pickleball lovers in Frankfort will be happy with the latest approval at the Village Board meeting on Monday. The Board approved a special use permit for indoor recreation for Pickled!

Trustee Adam Borrelli said the indoor recreation facility is proposed for the property at 20825 S. La Grange Road, Suite A.

According to Board documents, the property is the space of the former Bargain Mania. Last year, the property was split into two suites, and a Planet Fitness opened in one of the suites earlier this year.

Now, Pickled! is proposing to occupy the other half of the property, which is 17,539 square feet, Board documents state. Pickled! offers reserved court times, open play times, group drills, group lessons, tournaments, private lessons and private events.

There will also be a small pro-shop at the site to sell merchandise. The pickleball business also offers monthly memberships.

This will be the fifth location for Pickled!; which operates facilities in Wheaton, Woodridge, Batavia and Channahon (that location is called GameChangers).

According to Board documents, the Frankfort location will offer seven pickleball courts.
