Pickleball Hideout promotes community in Montgomery In December 2023, Montgomery residents Karl and Stacy Woyton opened their own indoor pick- leball court facility alongside their neighbors after meeting at their neighborhood outdoor pickleball court and bonding over the sport. How it happened Alongside their neighbors, the two decided to open their own indoor pickleball facility to have a space to play and engage with the community in a weather-controlled environment. “Playing outside all the time started to become a health hazard between the heat and the cold. Texas is too hot in the summer to play outside,” Karl Woyton said. Stacy Woyton said pickleball is a sport that encourages community engagement and allows for a fun method of exercise. The setup Pickleball Hideout features six indoor courts with air conditioning and an online court reser- vation system that allows players to reserve and access courts on their own using a personal code. Open seven days a week from 5 a.m.-10 p.m., players can download the Court Reserve app and reserve a court at their convenience. With the goal to promote health and inclusion through Pickleball Hideout, the facility also oers lessons and can hold events for up to 60 people. “We’ve seen people lose weight, we’ve seen peo- ple get much healthier. ... It’s just good exercise, and it’s a whole lot of fun,” Stacy Woyton said.

At Pickleball Hideout, memberships range from $59-$89 a month.
