Pickleball Palace is North Jersey’s instruction first pickleball operation, founded in West Orange in 2019 by longtime friends Sari Friedman Lee and Rebecca Lederman and now anchored by its Whippany flagship: a 20,000 square foot indoor facility with seven dedicated pro cushion courts. Certified pros teach clinics, private lessons, and the popular play with a pro sessions, alongside leagues, round robins, open play, and court rentals, all booked through CourtReserve. A second Whippany location at Anchor Golf adds four dedicated lighted outdoor courts in season. The community reputation is the draw; members describe instructors who analyze every player’s game and a social scene that turns lessons into friendships. Parties and corporate events round out the calendar.
