3rd Shot Pickleball Wheat Ridge
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 United States Get Directions
Venue Overview
3rd Shot Pickleball Wheat Ridge is a 13-court indoor pickleball club at 38th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in Wheat Ridge, just west of Denver. When it was announced, BusinessDen called it Colorado’s largest indoor pickleball complex, built inside a roughly 35,000 square foot former Lucky’s Market. The courts use premium outdoor-style surfaces with permanent lines and nets, and the club pairs them with a full bar, six beers on tap, a snack bar and a full pro shop. Open play, leagues, lessons with certified teaching pros, touring pro clinics and its own Winter Classic tournament make it one of the busiest places to play pickleball in the Denver metro.

History
In June 2023, BusinessDen reported that 3rd Shot Pickleball had signed a 10-year lease with Quadrant Properties for the vacant Lucky’s Market space at West 38th and Wadsworth, with plans for 13 indoor courts plus a bar and lounge. The club has since grown into a multi-state brand, with locations in Longmont, Sheridan (River Point), Reno, Evansville and Indianapolis.
Indoor Pickleball in Wheat Ridge
With 13 courts under one roof, 3rd Shot can run open play, leagues and lessons at the same time. Players book courts and sessions through CourtReserve, and the club’s Ways to Play page covers open play, leagues and more. The outdoor-style surfaces mean the ball plays much like it does on park courts, which helps players who compete outdoors in summer keep their game sharp all winter.
