City Adds 4 Indoor Pickleball Courts Near Active Adult Center

CULLMAN, Alabama – Recreational enthusiasts in Cullman will soon be able to enjoy four new indoor pickleball courts. The City of Cullman is expected to open the courts in early August.

Nathan Anderson, Executive Director of Cullman Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism, said, “We thank Mayor (Woody) Jacobs for paving the way for the construction of additional courts and we thank the council for their support. We have worked diligently to meet the growing demand for pickleball courts.”

The fields, which will be located next to the Donald E. Green Active Adult Center (1625 Cleveland Ave. SW) near Ingle Park, will be regulation-sized and surrounded by 6-foot-high fencing. There will be an adjacent covered pavilion with picnic tables to complete the area.

Cullman's Ingle Park already has pickleball courts, but the four new courts will be the area's first indoor courts, allowing pickleball players to play the sport rain or shine.

“We are excited to be able to offer the city’s first indoor pickleball courts,” Jacobs said. “This new facility will allow people to play year-round, regardless of the weather conditions.”

The fields are the latest project nearing completion in what will be Cullman’s “Omniplex Sports and Civic Center.” The district will stretch across the city’s west side, from Heritage Park to the Active Adult Center, enveloping the Cullman Wellness and Aquatic Center and WildWater. Groundbreaking for the proposed district’s core, the Omniplex Sports and Civic Center, took place in November 2023. The 115,000-square-foot structure will eventually house eight basketball courts, 16 volleyball courts and multiple pickleball courts as well as convention and meeting space.
