Parker clears plan for restaurant with pickleball courts, golf simulators
Parker planners cleared Pick N Tap, a 19,960-square-foot tap room with indoor pickleball and golf simulators, for 11735 Disha Drive.
Town planners in Parker gave the go-ahead to Pick N Tap, a proposed restaurant-and-recreation complex that would bring indoor pickleball courts, golf simulators and dining to an undeveloped parcel at 11735 Disha Drive. The project clears a key local hurdle before construction, putting another sports-driven entertainment concept into Parker’s fast-growing retail mix.
Plans filed with the town call for a 19,960-square-foot building. Of that, 8,815 square feet would be devoted to indoor pickleball courts, 772 square feet would hold a game area with golf simulators and darts, and 3,630 square feet would go to the dining room. Town planning staff described the proposal as a tap room and pickleball business with food service and a patio, a format that blends restaurant traffic with recreational use under one roof.
The project is proposed on about 2.8 acres as Lot 3 of Parker Homestead at the corner of Murrelet Street and Disha Drive, near South Chambers Road and Double Angel Road. A resident comment in the planning file says the developer met with Parker Homestead residents before the project advanced. Parker Planning Commission is an advisory board that recommends land-use decisions to Town Council, so the approval marks an important step in the review process, not the final word.
The site also changed hands recently. Trevey Commercial Real Estate said the 2.83-acre commercial parcel at 11735 Disha Drive closed on June 15, 2026, for $1.5 million, underscoring that the restaurant concept is tied to a fresh land deal rather than an older commercial footprint. That matters in Parker, where new retail and entertainment projects are increasingly competing for consumer spending as the town adds homes, roads and commercial space.
Pick N Tap also fits a broader market pattern that has already reached Douglas County. Chicken N Pickle announced Parker as a Colorado location in May 2023 and said the town would be part of its indoor-outdoor entertainment complex with a restaurant, sports bar, pickleball courts and yard games. A local article at the time said that project was expected to open in 2024. In a 2026 court directory, Douglas County listed 17 pickleball and padel venues with 89 courts, showing how quickly the sport has moved from novelty to a regional amenity. Parker’s latest approval suggests planners are still willing to back concepts that aim to capture both dinner dollars and recreation spending in the same stop.
