KENTWOOD, Mich. (WOOD) — A club for pickleball players is one step closer to opening after a groundbreaking ceremony.

Project leaders gathered Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking of Dinks & Dingers Social Club at 5080 Broadmoor Ave. near 52nd Street in Kentwood.

The club will offer six indoor pickleball courts and four covered and heated outdoor courts, so pickleball fans can play outside all year long. There will also be a restaurant and bar, a wiffle ball field, ping pong, shuffleboard and cornhole.

Dinks & Dingers owner and Beer City Open pickleball tournament winner Andy Anderson previously told News 8 he wanted to open a spot where the pickleball community can play the game and socialize with other players after playing.

Dinks & Dingers will host monthly tournaments and nightly leagues, along with things like birthday parties and corporate events. The club will be open to the public, and pickleball players can also become members.
