Construction has officially begun on a new pickleball complex in Fort Myers’ Forum neighborhood, with Vantage Construction Services LLC breaking ground on the city’s highly anticipated Forum Park expansion. The 4.6-acre park, located at the corner of Champion Ring Road and Warrior Way, will feature 14 pickleball courts, a gathering area for players and spectators, and a 2,055-square-foot building with restrooms and office space. Additional amenities will include an 88-space parking lot, benches, bicycle racks, drinking fountains, lighting, security features, and landscaping improvements.
The project represents the next phase of the Forum Park Master Plan, following the installation of fitness stations in 2025, with future phases potentially including multiuse fields, a dog park, playgrounds, an outdoor fitness court, picnic areas, and open green space.
