Youngsville, LA (March 10, 2026) — A new destination for dining, recreation, and community connection is official opened its doors in Youngsville. SMASH Pickleball & Restaurant celebrated its Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting with the Youngsville Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, March 10 at 10:00 AM at its new location in the Sugar Mill Pond community.
SMASH Pickleball & Restaurant introduces a unique concept where sport, hospitality, and social connection come together. The venue features outdoor pickleball courts with shade sails designed to provide sun protection and help shield players from light rain, along with a full-service restaurant and inviting indoor and outdoor gathering spaces built for the community to connect.
“Our goal with SMASH was to create a place where people can come together — whether that’s over a great meal, a friendly match of pickleball, or simply relaxing with friends,” said ownership. “It’s designed to be a social hub for Youngsville.”
The pickleball courts feature a cushioned playing surface designed to be easier on the body, offering a more comfortable experience for both casual players and competitive matches.
Inside, guests will find stylish interiors, plush seating, and a lively dining atmosphere. Outdoors, SMASH features an expansive turf gathering area with fire pits, picnic tables, cooling fans, and televisions, along with a dedicated kids’ zone and pet-friendly patio perfect for enjoying food, drinks, and conversation.
The facility also offers pickleball memberships, open play opportunities, and hourly court rentals, making the venue accessible for both seasoned players and those new to the sport.
The Youngsville Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony will mark the official launch of the business, and the community is invited to attend and celebrate this exciting addition to the city.
SMASH Pickleball & Restaurant is built around a simple idea:
Dine. Drink. Dink.
Make memories one smash at a time.
