CityPickle, a New York-based pickleball company, has been selected by New York City Parks for the revitalization of Brooklyn Anchorage Plaza in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn. The 60,000-square-foot area, located beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, consists of three sections: Old Fulton Street Yard, Washington Street Yard, and Ash Alley. CityPickle plans to invest $2 million into the revitalization project, and work is expected to begin in 2025.

CityPickle will transform the plaza by installing pickleball courts for open play and lessons. In addition to the courts, the company will also provide various public amenities for non-players, including public art installations, a dog run, food trucks, and games including chess and ping pong. In addition, plans include updated walkways, seating, and new bike racks.
