The fastest-growing sport in America has officially claimed a massive permanent footprint in Forsyth County. Co-owners Scott and Lori Dixon officially opened the doors to Dill Dinkers Pickleball Club, marking the brand's premier franchise expansion into the state of North Carolina.
By converting a prominent commercial footprint along the busy Silas Creek corridor into a state-of-the-art sports sanctuary, the facility directly addresses a massive local challenge: the lack of year-round, weather-proof recreational options for the region's rapidly growing pickleball community. With summer heatwaves and unpredictable winter weather, this climate-controlled space ensures that players never have to cancel a match due to the elements.
