The Picklr Comes to Fairfield for Second NorCal Location

The Picklr, a fast-growing indoor pickleball brand, has signed a lease for an 18,500-square-foot facility at 1574 Gateway Blvd. in Fairfield. The new club is slated to open in May and will mark The Picklr’s second Northern California location.

Founded in 2021, The Picklr is a membership-based indoor pickleball club concept designed to provide high-quality courts for players of all levels. The brand has rapidly expanded nationwide with more than 500 locations. It’s backed by strategic partners including Pickleball Inc. and Super Bowl champion Drew Brees.

“Pickleball continues to be one of the fastest-growing recreational sports in the country, and concepts like The Picklr are helping meet the increasing demand for dedicated indoor facilities,” said JLL SVP John Brecher, who arranged the lease. “We’re proud to have worked with The Picklr to secure a location that supports their long-term growth while bringing a dynamic recreational amenity to the Fairfield community.”
