West Hills Athletic Club to open new 13-court indoor pickleball complex Summer of 2025
West Hills Athletic Club is excited to announce the forthcoming expansion of its facilities for pickleball: A new, dedicated indoor pickleball complex will open in June 2025 on the north side of the club’s building. Construction of the 37,000-square-foot facility is largely made possible by a generous contribution from Ruth and Mike Stoddard, who selected Latitude 42 Pickleball Complex.
The new Latitude 42 Pickleball Complex will have convenient access to the existing West Hills Athletic Club building and amenities, including locker rooms, the pro shop, a fitness center, group fitness classes, indoor tennis courts, a kids club, and personal training services for injury prevention, skill development and more.

34’ x 64’ courts with permanent nets and court dividers
Dedicated courts
The complex will provide 13 dedicated pickleball courts with indirect lighting and ample playing space surrounding each court (34’ x 64’). The courts will be the same premium surface as our tennis courts, including permanent nets. The facility will offer an integrated social space, restrooms, and court-side viewing.
With the addition of these new courts, when the complex opens, West Hills will offer 21 pickleball courts for events, establishing itself as one of the largest venues for pickleball in the area.

Sponsorship opportunity
West Hills Athletic Club is an auxiliary service of Western Michigan University. Therefore, the WMU general fund does not support it or receive gifts from the athletic department. The funding for the pickleball complex will come from gifts, sponsorships, and West Hills operational funds.
With your support, we will reduce overhead expenses and keep pricing affordable to all in the pickleball community. Gifts will also free up operational funds to continue upgrading the current facility.
Our facility is estimated to have 700 visitors a day or 4,900 a week. Here are a couple of ways to take advantage of that captive audience.
