International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) has unveiled plans to transform its Event Deck into a vibrant precinct featuring eight purpose-built pickleball courts.
Operated by House of Pickle, a local business experienced in community sport, the courts offer casual play, coaching, social rounds, and events tailored for both community and corporate groups.
ICC Sydney CEO Adam Mather-Brown said: “Event organisers will be able to enhance attendees’ experiences with opportunities for team building, exercise and, importantly, fun. This initiative reflects ICC Sydney’s commitment to innovation, wellbeing, and inclusivity – creating a space that is engaging and accessible.”
House of Pickle CEO Ollie Matthews added: “Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and we’re thrilled to activate ICC Sydney’s iconic Event Deck with eight courts. Our goal is to make House of Pickle Darling Harbour a welcoming space for everyone – from first-timers to seasoned players.”
Fit-out works and installation are complete, with the courts now open for bookings. There are also plans to support local enterprise through merchandise sales and food and beverage offerings, including the activation of the House of Pickle Lounge.
