Smash Park, the self-described “eatertainment” venue, is expanding into Omaha, the West Des Moines-based company announced. The company expects to open its newest location in the Omaha suburb of La Vista in fall 2023. The new venue will have 30,000 square feet of indoor space to house pickleball courts, craft food and drinks, a 21-and-over “Paddle Club,” ax throwing, duckpin bowling, and a private karaoke “Sing Suite.” Smash Park opened its original location in West Des Moines in 2018. It opened a second Iowa location in Pella in May 2022 and announced earlier this year that it will open two locations in the Twin Cities area in 2023 and 2024. Omaha has always been a top choice for expansion outside Iowa, considering its proximity, population, and the thriving pickleball community,” Monty Lockyear, Smash Park’s CEO, said in a prepared statement. “We feel confident Omaha will embrace our combination of recreation, social activity, food, and drinks.”
