The place welcomes absolute newbies as well as experts . Kraken is also partnering with Volo, DC Fray, Zog Sports, and Chocolate City to form leagues—not just for pickleball, but corn hole and darts, too.
Aside from joining a league, there are several other ways to get on the court: You can reserve one, with rates starting at $15 per hour; swing by for drop-in and open play, which is offered across four different skill levels and starts at $10 for two hours; or throw a Pickle Party, which includes two courts and two cabanas for 30-to-75 people, starting at $350.Likewise, there will be skating classes and rink-side party cabanas available for rent.
“It’s been really cool to see strangers helping strangers learn how to play or skate,” said Valero. “It’s really a space that allows you to create connections across all ages. Today, for instance, we had a 90-year-old pickleball player on the court. … Having that spectrum [of players] is what’s so great.”
