Smash Park Breaks Ground on First Franchise in Pella

UNITED STATES / AGILITYPR.NEWS / July 29, 2021 / More than 125 Jobs Created During Venue Construction

Pella Venue Opening Anticipated Spring 2022


WHAT:  Construction officially began this week on West Des Moines-based “eatertainment” venue Smash Park’s first franchise location in Pella, Iowa, and the local impact is already being felt. Developing the 22,345 sq ft. space will create more than 125 jobs over the course of the project to construct the brand’s signature pickleball courts, craft food and drink dining experience, room for a variety of indoor and outdoor games, and party and event space. 


The building will be equipped with energy-efficient and intelligent features such as LED lighting, lighting controls, and an energy-efficient variable air volume HVAC system with direct digital controls.


The Pella location is anticipated to open in the spring of 2022 and will employ approximately 85 people once operational. In addition, it will benefit Pella-area community and charitable organizations through special events and Serve Local fundraising, which will allow customers to select local organizations to receive a portion of the money they spend at Smash Park.


WHERE:  Just south of Highway 163 at exit 40 in the Prairie Ridge Development, Pella, Iowa


WHO:  Downing Construction Inc. of Indianola is the project general contractor.

Shyft Collective of Des Moines is the architect.
