Pickleball, which has become a phenomenon across the US in recent years, will have a new home in the Capital Region. Legacy Pickleball Club is hoping to open its doors this November.
The facility is located at 4 McCrea Hill Road in Ballston Spa. It features eight indoor courts with the intention of building 15-20 more indoor/outdoor courts on the property.
General Manager Michael Xirinachs tells News 10 that Legacy plans to open more courts in New York State and is in talks with Colonie Center about a potential facility there.
We realize that when this sport first started four or five decades ago, it was mainly older folks getting their exercise. Now, the median age is 34 years old and that’s a wide range of income from 18-year-olds to 81-year-olds.
Xirinachs says the new club will feature a player's lounge with food beer and wine. In addition, Legacy plans on hosting professional pickleball tournaments at the new facility.
