Pickleball has officially gone vertical. At Sereno Fort Lauderdale, a luxury condominium community featuring 76 upscale residences, residents will soon enjoy the city’s first private rooftop pickleball court — a high-flying amenity in a region where condo developments are increasingly blending recreation with sophistication.
Perched atop Sereno’s wellness-focused rooftop, the new court offers panoramic views of the city skyline, ocean horizon, and waterway, creating a resort-style backdrop for active living. This innovative addition underscores the growing trend of elevating fitness amenities in urban living spaces.
A Rapid Rise in Popularity
According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s 2025 Topline Participation Report, pickleball has been crowned the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. for the fourth consecutive year. Participation surged 311% over the past three years, with nearly 20 million Americans taking up a paddle in 2024 alone.
This explosive growth is fueling a developer race to incorporate creative new amenities like rooftop courts, making pickleball courts — especially in unexpected places — some of the hottest must-have features in modern condo living.
A New Standard for Active Urban Lifestyles
Sereno’s rooftop pickleball court exemplifies a shift towards more dynamic, wellness-oriented residences that prioritize both recreation and social connection. As pickleball’s popularity continues to soar, expect to see more developments following suit with similar innovative offerings.
With its blend of breathtaking views and active edge, Sereno Fort Lauderdale’s rooftop court is set to become a standout feature — transforming downtown living into an elevated sporting experience.
