Picklr Live Oak to open 14-court indoor pickleball venue in San Antonio

Picklr Live Oak will give northeast San Antonio a 14-court indoor option just off Loop 1604 near Lookout Road, and that changes the math for anyone trying to book court time before South Texas heat starts squeezing outdoor play. The club is set to open May 16, with an opening ceremony from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the build is aimed at year-round play rather than a few scattered drop-in sessions.

KENS 5 reported the venue will include an ADA-accessible championship court, which is the kind of detail that tells you this is being built for more than casual rec play. The Picklr’s Live Oak page says the club is designed for all skill levels and special events, and its amenities listings add locker rooms, showers, a pro shop, private event space, league play, tournaments, drop-in play, court reservations and ball machines. A court directory describes the location as membership-based and notes adaptive programming and wheelchair accessibility.

The footprint matters too. Community Impact described the project as a 46,000-square-foot indoor pickleball center at 7517 Loop 1604, Ste. 35, first outlining a 13-court plan and an early January opening target. By the time the May opening coverage landed, the count had grown to 14 indoor courts, a sign that the final buildout was bigger than the first pass. Franchise owner James Speer told Community Impact, “If everything goes right with construction, we’re hoping for that time frame,” when he was talking about the original schedule.

For retreat groups, league directors and tournament organizers, the practical upside is simple: more protected court time under one roof, less weather risk and more room to stage larger events without stitching together multiple sites. That is especially relevant in a market where court demand has been rising fast. USA Pickleball’s 2025 annual growth report, updated Jan. 30, 2026, said more than 2,300 locations were added in 2025, bringing the national total to 18,258 locations. Pickleheads listed 82,613 total known courts. In that kind of growth environment, a 14-court indoor facility off Loop 1604 is not just another clubhouse. It is the kind of infrastructure that can keep San Antonio players on court when the temperature climbs and give visiting groups a real place to book around.
