Its newest addition, Ballers, delivers an interactive experience that is equal parts social club and sports venue. Just steps away from the Thomas M. Menino Convention Center (MCEC), Ballers offers attendees a seamless transition from convention floor to competitive play. # **Pickleball, Padel, and Seasonal Play**   Ballers is a multi-sport destination, featuring five professional-grade pickleball courts and three padel courts – the first padel courts in Boston! Designed for both casual and competitive players, the venue welcomes groups of all skill levels and accommodates larger teams, making it the ideal spot for corporate or team-building events. Guests can enjoy patio seating year-round with drinks including beer, wine, and hard seltzers and a full-service café menu designed in partnership with James Beard Award semifinalist Mitch Prensky. In the winter season, the pickleball courts transform into a synthetic ice-skating rink and are complemented by heated igloos where guests can enjoy light bites and hot cocoa. Further gathering around the firepit to roast marshmallows is encouraged. # **A Space Designed for Teams and Events**   Ballers’ 30,000-square-foot layout is built for flexibility. Up to 230 guests can gather for a standing reception, while 50 can be seated for more intimate functions. The open concept supports branding opportunities, sponsor activations, and private events, with on-site changing rooms enabling an easy transition from daytime conference wear to athletic gear. For planners seeking interactive venues that break away from traditional formats, Ballers offers a refreshing alternative that will delight guests.   # **Plan Your Visit!**   The Seaport District continues to evolve as one of Boston’s most sought-after destinations for meetings and events. With its walkability, waterfront views, and proximity to the MCEC and neighboring hotels, experiential venues like Ballers only strengthen the neighborhood’s appeal. Whether you are envisioning a small networking reception or a full-scale corporate tournament takeover, Ballers provides the space, flexibility, and energy to deliver an experience guests will remember.
