The Flying Pickle opens in Post Falls with 24 indoor courts

The Flying Pickle opened in Post Falls on Saturday with 24 indoor courts at 140 N Beck Rd, Suite 100, giving North Idaho players a year-round place to get on court without watching the weather or the daylight. The grand opening was built around free open play all day, an 8 a.m. ribbon cutting, and a full slate of food, music and prizes.

The scale is what makes the opening matter. The project was built as a $5 million facility, and the booking page lists 24 dedicated pickleball courts with the club’s main number, +1 (208) 346-7727. The site describes the Post Falls location as a premium indoor pickleball facility and says guests are welcome, a detail that points to more than just private memberships or occasional drop-ins.

For amateur players, that kind of setup changes how the week looks. Rec players can count on open play without losing a night to rain or wind. Ladder players and league regulars get a steadier place to build a routine. Families and newcomers get a setting where clinics and lessons can fit alongside casual games, while tournament prep groups can use the same indoor courts to get repeated reps before events.

The venue sits next to Selkirk Sport in The Pointe at Post Falls, putting it in a part of town already tied to pickleball gear and play. A July 24 reel described the new space as a 24-court indoor facility with a full bar and grill, and the club’s grand-opening posts pushed the same Saturday schedule, including free open play and free food and drinks later in the morning.

The club has also leaned into the community side of the opening. Its social posts promoted clinics, leagues and tournaments as part of the experience, and it highlighted founding member Kevin Bunce as part of the early local push behind the venue. That matters in a market where players have often had to piece together court time across different towns and outdoor conditions.

With the doors open, the immediate impact is simple: more court time, fewer weather delays and a new base for the area’s amateur game. For players who want a regular place to play after work, bring a family group, or sharpen tournament form, Post Falls now has a dedicated indoor option built for exactly that.
