Dill Dinkers Newport marks Delaware’s first dedicated indoor pickleball club

BY JIM CASSADY

DILL DINKERS NEWPORT is proud to introduce Delaware’s first dedicated indoor pickleball facility — bringing America’s fastestgrowing sport to New Castle County in a professional, climatecontrolled environment.

Located at 500 Water Street in Newport, the facility is designed for players of all levels, featuring state-of-the-art ProCushion courts that offer superior traction, shock absorption, and comfort while reducing the risk of injury. Players enjoy fenced-in courts that keep the game flowing, ample free parking, and fully climate-controlled spaces for yearround play.

Whether you’re stopping by for open play, joining a league, or hosting a private event in our 40-person party room, Dill Dinkers Newport offers a welcoming space to connect, compete, and have fun. We offer loaner paddles and balls, professional coaching, and even extra activities like ping pong and cornhole.

Flexibility is part of what makes us different — membership is optional. Anyone can reserve a court and enjoy our facility without long-term commitments. Our fully stocked pro shop makes it easy to gear up, and our superior lighting ensures great visibility day or night.

Beyond recreation, Dill Dinkers Newport is a hub for corporate wellness and team-building events, helping organizations bring employees together in a healthy, social environment.

We are proud to support Delaware’s business and community leaders in finding new ways to stay active, connected, and engaged.

Jim Cassady is the regional developer of Dill Dinkers Newport.
