What’s Inside Picklr Cronulla?

This isn't a couple of pickleball nets squeezed onto spare tennis courts. Picklr Cronulla has been purpose-built around the sport, with 11 permanently installed indoor courts, professional coaching and structured programs catering to everyone from complete beginners to competitive players.

There are also change rooms, a pro shop and community room, with the venue designed to give the rapidly growing local pickleball community a permanent place to play.

According to Australian Sports Commission AusPlay data cited by Picklr, pickleball is currently Australia's fastest-growing sport by participation. The Sutherland Shire already has one of the country's largest pickleball clubs, but players have largely relied on portable nets and shared community facilities—making the Shire a natural choice for Picklr's Australian debut.

Picklr Confirms Second Club For Sydney's Northern Beaches

Cronulla has set a strong benchmark for the brand's Australian debut. The first tier of Founding Memberships sold out within days of release, and the club's grand opening day turnout has become a marker for what's next.

Picklr ANZ will open its second club, The Picklr Manly Warringah, in Brookvale on Sydney's Northern Beaches in early 2027. The eight-court indoor facility is the next step in Picklr's planned rollout of up to 50 clubs across Australia and New Zealand over the next five years.

Picklr says it has more than 500 clubs sold or operating across North America, and its Australian and New Zealand master franchise is now working through that expansion locally, club by club.

So, if pickleball hasn't already infiltrated your group chat, there's a good chance it's coming.
