The Pickle Yard is a new destination in the Upstate designed to bring people together through sports, food, and shared experiences. Developed by Parker Group Development, the venue blends recreation with a welcoming social atmosphere, creating a space where guests of all ages and activity levels can connect, unwind, and have fun.
The Pickle Yard features six indoor courts alongside the Upstate’s only publicly accessible padel courts. Guests can also enjoy golf simulators with lounge seating, a grass volleyball court, and a large outdoor patio. Whether you’re playing competitively or just showing up for the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.
Complementing the activity is a full-service restaurant and bar, highlighted by Dilly’s Oasis Bar and a chef-driven kitchen and craft beverages. With professional coaching available for players looking to improve their game and a layout built for connection and entertainment.
