Bounce - Baltimore Transition FAQs

What date will things change?

Bounce will take over management on January 1. The team will work with players to attempt to make the transition as smooth as possible, and we appreciate your patience. We are excited to update the courts and bring expanded programming to the Baltimore community.

Will there be tennis?

Bounce is about Pickleball and will be converting the Pikesville facility into a dedicated Pickleball club. Having exclusive Pickleball courts will mean better conditions, and at least 18 courts allowing for an abundance of programming options!

Renovations will start on the left side (the current tennis side). Once the renovation is complete on the left side, we will proceed with updating the right side. Changes are also being planned in the middle corridor and lobby/office area.

Renovations will begin in early 2025. Talen please add whatever additional info you have around the expected timeline.
