RIBBON CUTTING FOR Sportime Pickleball Yorktown

On October 22nd, Sportime Pickleball celebrated the opening of its Yorktown Facility with a crowd of local players, Yorktown Town Board members and officials from the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce.

“The opening of Sportime Pickleball isn't just a win for local sports enthusiasts; it's a critical piece of our strategy to revitalize vacant commercial spaces,” said Supervisor Ed Lachterman. “Economic development is about attracting quality tenants and maximizing the potential of our properties, which in turn strengthens our tax base and provides new energy for our entire community.”

The new facility at 355 Downing Drive in the Yorktown Green Shopping Center is a dedicated, climate-controlled facility, featuring 12 state-of-the-art courts.

Sportime occupies space in a former Kmart building that sat empty for years. A massive overhaul of the Yorktown Green Shopping Center has attracted new retailers and big crowds of shoppers. The September soft opening of Sportime means that the shopping center is almost full, a sharp contrast to the mostly empty mall in 2020.

Beyond the playing surfaces, Sportime Pickleball Yorktown offers a premium experience with modern locker rooms, a well-stocked pro shop, a grab-and-go station for healthy snacks and beverages, and two private event spaces.
