THE MOTIVE
Welcome to The Forge—Ottawa’s premier pickleball club, built by players for players. Unlike big-box gyms or corporate chains, The Forge was born out of a simple but powerful idea: to create a space where passion for pickleball meets a true sense of community. We’re not backed by billion-dollar conglomerates; we’re a small, dedicated team, deeply rooted in Ottawa, driven to meet the needs of our growing pickleball community.
The demand for a high-quality, dedicated pickleball facility was clear. Pickleball is more than a trend; it’s a movement—a sport that brings people together across all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. But finding a space that matches the energy and enthusiasm of the players? That’s been hard to come by.
Our journey isn't without challenges. With commitment and relentless effort, we set out to bring this vision to life. We've faced countless late nights, navigated the hurdles of small business life, and worked through each step, driven by the confidence in the value and opportunity before us. Ottawa’s players deserve a dedicated facility. Our members aren’t just clients; they’re neighbors, friends, and supporters who believe in what we’re creating together.
The Forge is a labour of love, built on community support and passion for the game. When you step through our doors, you’re not just joining a club—you’re becoming part of a movement to foster wellness, community, and sport in Ottawa. We invite you to join us, support local, and experience pickleball like never before. Together, we’re building something incredible, one game at a time.
