Pickleball courts, sports bar headed to abandoned Harbor East warehouse

A local entrepreneur plans to convert an abandoned warehouse in Harbor East into pickleball courts with a sports bar. The fast-growing sport is expected to take over the corner of tiny Spring Street and Eastern Avenue by the end of the year, said Jimmy Edgerton, a co-owner of the Harbor East Pickleball Experience venture. The complex at 409 Spring St. will hold five pickleball courts, two indoor and three outdoor, and a sports bar with other games like darts, corn hole and ping pong.
