Crush Yard Orlando Plans to Open Later This Year

Orlando, recently crowned the top foodie and sports business city in the U.S., is set to enhance its reputation with the arrival of a new and exciting venue. Crush Yard, known as the “pickleball entertainment innovator,” is making its Florida debut later this year with a location near Walt Disney World.

Crush Yard Orlando will be situated at 7840 W. Irlo Bronson Highway in Osceola County. The company is thrilled to bring its unique blend of entertainment and dining to one of the world's most popular destinations. "We think this premium location in one of the world’s most popular destinations will give locals and Orlando’s millions of visitors an unforgettable experience. There’s really nothing else like it,” said Craig Coyne, Crush Yard’s chief strategy officer.

The 48,000-square-foot facility will feature 10 indoor pickleball courts, a restaurant, bar, arcade, and private event spaces. It’s designed to offer a variety of activities and amenities that cater to both locals and tourists. Players of all skill levels can take advantage of classes and private lessons, join leagues, and participate in fun events like glow-in-the-dark pickleball and trivia nights.

Membership at Crush Yard comes with perks such as unlimited soft drinks, discounts, and unlimited open play sessions at specific times of the day, making it an attractive option for regular visitors.

The restaurant at Crush Yard will serve elevated comfort food, including cheeseburger sliders, wings, nachos, and tacos. For beverage enthusiasts, the bar will feature a self-pour beer section, providing a unique and interactive drinking experience.

Crush Yard launched its first location in South Carolina in September 2023 and has plans to expand further, with a third venue slated for Nashville, Tennessee. While all three locations are corporate-owned, the company also offers franchise opportunities for those interested in bringing this innovative concept to new markets.

Orlando’s vibrant food and sports scene is about to get even more exciting with the opening of Crush Yard. Whether you’re a pickleball pro, a foodie, or just looking for a fun day out, Crush Yard promises to deliver an experience like no other.
