The Fort Pickleball Complex- A Public-Private Partnership: Is it delivering on its Economic, Recreational and Social Goals?

The Fort spans nine acres and features 43 courts, including 14 weatherproof courts, a lakeside entertainment complex, dining and retail.

Co-Founders Brad Tuckman and Rich Campillo envision The Fort as more than a pickleball club; it’s a community hub where pickleballers discover a home away from home and experience the essence of South Florida living.

Critics are concerned that the project will lead to the commercialization of public land, potentially at the expense of the community’s interests, or the potential waning of the sport.
