Is this place being built? I haven't heard anything recently about it and I can't find anything on the internet newer than a year-old report stating they were "to be built".

Any progress? Dead in the water?

Haven’t heard any recent news but driving east of Morse Blvd on 44 the other day I noticed a large clearing going north which could approach 44A. Possibility, but just a guess????

Pretty sure that it is dead.

The web link is dead and they haven't replied to a message left on social media.

There is one under construction on 466.

This could be a cause for celebration in Lake Deaton. Hopefully the next set of Wildwood Commissioners doesn’t rubber stamp another wild idea like this one.

True. I'm aware of that one. It's very small compared to the scope of what was being proposed in Wildwood.

I suspect that it's dead. If this were actually going to be built, it would either be done by now or pretty darn close. It's been over a year since the approval was given.

Price per hour to play vs cost? Investors probably came back down to earth?

Could be permit problem? or the investment funds dried up?

I have no real information, but it seems to me a place like that would do well in an area where most of the population has to pay somewhere to play. But in the heart of The Villages, where all of the residents of TV already have their pickleball paid for with amenity fees, they'd have to rely on the non-villagers to be willing to pay to play. I'm guessing someone realized that there isn't that big of a market.

I may be wrong, but I recall an article in the not to be named online source that the facility was under construction and due to be opened soon. If I come across the article I will try to post it.

I read that too, when pass there few weeks ago and didn’t see nothing? Maybe I didn’t look in right spot?

Different facility, no off 44.

The large metal structure is visible from County Road 466 near the Hampton Inn and across from Laurel Manor Recreation Center.
