Welcome to The Pickle Lodge at Factory 52
Where Players Are Made
At our newest Lodge location, opening June 1, 2026, the courts will be humming, the atmosphere will be electric, and the community will be the driving force behind it all. Inspired by a bold, factory-style design, this is where hard work meets high energy—and where play is always in production.
You don’t need a membership to get in the game, but for those who plan to make this their home base, memberships will be available starting May 1 and are designed to give you the best value.
Join our mailing list to stay in the loop as we gear up for opening day, check out the FAQs below for everything you need to know, and get ready to step onto the floor.

About Factory 52
We’re expanding. The Pickle Lodge is officially taking over operations of ACES Pickleball at Factory 52—bringing our proven model for programming, membership, and experience to a brand-new home.
Right in the heart of Factory 52—a revitalized, walkable neighborhood built on Cincinnati’s industrial past and reimagined for how people live, work, and play today.
The Pickle Lodge at Factory 52
This isn’t just another location—it’s a major addition to the Lodge network:
- 11 total courts (5 indoor, 1 covered, 5 outdoor)
- 18,000 sq ft indoor space
- 24,000 sq ft outdoor space
More courts. More play. More opportunity to get better.
Two Cities returns as our restaurant partner. They’ll fully operate food and beverage, just like at North Shore. They will be starting renovations on June 1st in hopes to open fully by August 1st.
June 1, 2026: The Pickle Lodge takes over operations.
Approximately 30 days later, Two Cities will open after their remodeling and renovations.
No. ACES will continue operating as usual until the transition—same memberships, same programming, same events.
Operations & Programming
The same Lodge model—applied consistently:
- Organized, high-quality programming
- Limited Primary Memberships
- A strong mix of leagues, clinics, and open play
If you’ve played at North Shore or Lunken Landing, you’ll feel right at home.
At first, mostly cosmetic updates. From there, we’ll continue to refine the space as programming ramps up.
Yes—over time. We’ll introduce Lodge-style leagues, clinics, and events while keeping what already works and building from there.
Yes. Open Play throughout the day will remain, with scheduling evolving as programming grows.
Factory 52 will have the opportunity to create new teams for the Fall/Winter 2026 teams in September, and current players will be encouraged to become members and continue competing.
Membership & Access
Current ACES members will be invited to join The Pickle Lodge, with access to the same membership structure, pricing, and benefits as our other locations.
Yes. Members will have access through our passport-style benefits and guest policies, based on availability.
Factory 52 will follow The Pickle Lodge’s existing membership structure. Any updates will be clearly communicated in advance.
