Pickle4 Ballpark Series – Fenway Park
Boston, MA
July 2023
In the fall of 2022, I met someone who had an amazing idea. What if we had a Pickleball festival on the field of some of Baseball’s most amazing cathedrals? In 2023, the inaugural Pickle4 Ballpark series was born.
Working with the President of Pickle4, Mike Dee and events operations team at Pickle4, we developed plans on how to bring this cutting edge vision to reality. We worked with Dave Mellor, head grounds keeper at Fenway Park , Consultant Z, and Ace Surfaces to provide a solution to put pickleball courts on the hallowed ground at Fenway Park . The event would go on for multiple days consisting of many pickleball festivities including kids’ clinics, amateur tournaments, and professional pickleball players showcase.
