Had our Corporate Summer Outing Sat AM. Everyone in the office loved it! The shaded courts, pro-coaches, food layout, yard games, bar tenders ALL AMAZING! The only issue was the heat. I with they had more fans in the area outside the courts for people to cool off after a game. Special thanks to Jovana, Atlanta and the coach in the pic. They were the absolute BEST!

Kudos to Visit Lauderdale for an unbelievable week of promoting Fort Lauderdale with visitors and press from international, national, and nearby locations. I met press from the UK, China, Argentina, Peru, Michigan, Atlanta, Canada, Mexico and a plethora of other nations at their Press Brunch this Monday, May 18th. It all took place at FORT Pickleball. The place is truly amazing. It's Pickleball and so much more. A gem in the heart of Broward County. If you haven't been, you need to go.

Very nice facility. Even if you don't play pickle ball, The restaurant is amazing. The service and food was excellent. We had extra people show up for our event. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Truly incredible service. The pickle ball courts are beautiful. We had a great time.

The facility itself deserves five stars for its excellent setup. It features multiple courts spread across different levels, along with amenities such as restrooms, a bar, water fountains, and designated areas for open play. The overall layout and atmosphere are well designed for players of all levels. However, my experience drops to two stars due to poor communication. This was our first visit, and we each paid $25 plus tax, only to later find out that a private tournament was taking place. No one informed us of this at check-in. Around noon, we were asked to relocate to just two courts allocated for open play. Unfortunately, those courts were overcrowded, and we ended up waiting over 40 minutes between games. The management should be upfront about limited court availability during private events so customers can make informed decisions. Honestly, considering the number of high-quality public courts available across Miami and Broward for open play, many players may prefer to save their money and play elsewhere.

We had a fun time at a special event today. There is a lot of parking with staff available to help you find a spot. There's more spaces off and to the left of the building. The Fort has a gate between itself and the rest of Snyder Park, so it'd be wise to plan accordingly if you want to do both. There are plenty of facilities right near the courts, and there's also a restaurant which overlooks the lake.
