We’re also very excited to become the first pickleball destination to reside in a Long Island mall setting and we are thrilled to join Samanea’s impressive roster of new entertainment destinations.” Each of Pickleball Smash-It’s two, individual, indoor pickleball courts will be located in its own tenant space.
