Major Pickleball Complex Coming to Springdale

A $50M pickleball development near I-49 and Elm Springs Rd in Springdale is set to break ground this spring, aiming to become one of the nation’s premier pickleball destinations.

• Game-Changer: The Big Dill Pickleball Club & Academy will feature a 70,000-sq-ft indoor facility with 23 courts, a 900-seat center court, 30 outdoor courts, a pro shop, a restaurant, and more.

  The project is expected to attract 25,000-30,000 tourists annually.

• Dink Dale: The facility will offer high-tech training tools, live-streaming capabilities, and commercial spaces for retail, dining, and entertainment. Future phases could even include multifamily housing to support players and visitors. Arkansas native and founder Reggie Brasfield is leading the vision, which is expected to open in early 2026.
