An upcoming adaptive reuse project will refit a former Weaverville automotive warehouse into a space for America's fastest-growing sport. Ballcrank Pickleball Club plans to open later this summer at 115 Reems Creek Rd., bringing 12 professional-grade indoor courts to more than 30,000 sqft of the former Balcrank Corporation headquarters.

The pickleball club will serve as the anchor tenant of the reimagined Ballcrank Arcade & Fairgrounds, a broader redevelopment effort transforming the 132,000-sqft building into a hub for recreation, food + beverage, art, and retail.

The club will operate with a pay-as-you-play model, with memberships available for priority booking.

You'd better brush up on your skills, because Ballcrank isn't the only complex coming soon. The City of Asheville will construct 8-10 public pickleball courts at Roger Farmer Park — designs will be shared later this summer.
