Tosiek Schaub· 4 weeks agoI’ve played and trained at a lot of places, and honestly, nothing compares to Dink Tank. From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a club it feels like family. The atmosphere is welcoming, positive, and full of people who genuinely love the game. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, everyone is included, encouraged, and treated with respect. What makes Dink Tank special is the community. Everyone plays with everyone, people support each other, and there’s always great energy on and off the court. It’s rare to find a place that combines high-level pickleball, incredible facilities, and such a warm family atmosphere. If you’re looking for the best place to play, improve, and meet amazing people, this is it. There is simply nothing comparable in the area. Thank you to Sean, Keeley, and the entire Dink Tank family for creating something truly special!
Careliz Torres· 2 months agoI hosted my birthday at The Dink Tank and it was truly everything I hoped for and more! The atmosphere is always welcoming, fun, and well put together. My guests and I had the best time, and everything ran so smoothly. I’m so grateful they allowed me to celebrate there. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to gather and have fun!
Tim Lopez· 4 weeks agoThe Dink Tank proves that quality beats quantity. Even with only four courts, the community is unmatched. The players are welcoming, the competition is strong, and the atmosphere is always positive. I’ve played at bigger facilities, but none feel quite like home the way the Dink Tank does. The coaching is also incredible, with two active professional players, Antoine and Jae, who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the court. Their instruction, along with the amazing community, makes The Dink Tank a special place to play, learn, and improve.
Kendrick Butler· 2 months agoI absolutely love my pickleball family at The Dink Tank Ocala. When i didn’t know how to play at all, Sean (one of the owners), personally spent time with me for an hour and i have never forgotten that. Whether it’s social events, competitive pickleball leagues or just a place for my friends and i to rent the place out for a birthday party i know i have The Dink Tank to call on! 10/10
Leroy Aponte· a month agoI recently attended open play at this facility, and I left disappointed. Open play, by definition, should be inclusive, with everyone following the paddle system and playing in turn. Despite being next up, I was skipped in favor of the owner’s preferences, undermining the open concept. If you want to be selective about who you play with, you rent a private court with your friends. Open play is called that for a reason. When I raised the issue, no effort was made to correct it, leaving a very unwelcoming atmosphere. The description mentions a 4.5 level, which I respect, but open play means you don’t pick and choose. As long as a player isn’t a hindrance, they should be allowed to play. Some people are simply there to have fun and exercise—they don’t care about going pro, tournaments, or ranking systems. Having an entitled attitude about who you’ll play with isn’t appropriate. I hope in the future, the environment reflects the true spirit of open play—fair, inclusive, and welcoming.
