THIS MONTH'S HOST: BUMPY PICKLE

We’re excited to collaborate with Bumpy Pickle, Houston’s largest recreational outdoor pickleball and sand volleyball court facility. As the fastest-growing sport in the country, pickleball has found a big home in Texas — and Bumpy Pickle brings it to life in a food-forward, social, and high-energy setting.

Located in Houston’s East End, Bumpy Pickle features:

• 🏓 Nine pickleball courts
• 🏐 Five well-lit, regulation sand volleyball courts
• 🍔 Food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere designed for connection
  
  

Unwind with fellow Chamber members and guests or challenge someone to a quick match — either way, the food and vibes keep things lively.
