Venue Overview

The Picklr Thornton is a 30,000 square foot indoor club at 9923 Grant St in Thornton Town Center, opened in late December 2024 by franchisees Amber and Brian Rieman of Brighton. It is pickleball only, and it is built around the idea that weather should never be a factor. As the franchisee put it to BizWest, members will never need to worry about rain, wind, cold or heat. Membership also carries nationwide reciprocity, so a Thornton member plays free at any Picklr location in the country.

About the Courts

Nine indoor courts, split six championship and three standard. All are dedicated pickleball with permanent nets, with no dual striping and no tennis sharing. The club describes the courts as having outdoor surfacing applied indoors, though the exact material is not published. Posted hours are Monday through Friday 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
