We’re launching Pickleheart where we live and play, our own home courts in Upper Manhattan. This is where the collective begins.

We could have started anywhere. We chose here.

Why? Because we know these courts, we play on them, and we want to support the local pickleball community that’s been part of our lives from the start. We’re starting tight… and then we’re going nuclear.
Pickleheart is a portal that connects the pickleball world, but the first door we’re opening is right here at home.



From the banks of the Hudson to the edge of the East River, Upper Manhattan is one of the most vibrant pickleball regions in New York City.
The pilot isn’t just about playing more, it’s about testing and refining the tools and connections that will make Pickleheart valuable everywhere. By starting here, we can listen closely, improve quickly, and set the stage for future launches across NYC and beyond.

Think of the Upper Manhattan Project as the epicenter. From here, we’ll expand outward, neighborhood by neighborhood, until the whole city is connected.

 Help us shape the Upper Manhattan Project.

Being part of the Upper Manhattan Project means you’re more than a player, you’re helping us build the portal from the ground up. Here’s how to jump in:

1. Sign up for a free account below
2. We'll reach out to you to ask a few questions, and to share the app when its ready

The more voices we hear now, the better Pickleheart will be when it expands to the rest of the city. 


We’re laser-focused on Upper Manhattan right now, but the collective is open to everyone. Wherever you play, join now — and help decide where we launch next.

Membership is free.
The connections are priceless.
