Peachtree City’s Braelinn Village is trading its former Kmart bargain bins for year‑round indoor play, as the aging big box turns into a 90,000‑square‑foot recreation magnet at 400 Crosstown Drive. Ace Pickleball Club opened in the former Kmart in August 2025 and an Altitude Trampoline Park is set to open in early summer 2026, together converting the onetime retail anchor into space for kids and adult players to stay active all year long.
According to WSB‑TV, Ace began operations in August 2025 while Altitude plans an early‑summer 2026 debut, with the two tenants splitting the former Kmart between an approximately 40,000‑square‑foot pickleball club and a roughly 50,000‑square‑foot trampoline park. The station also reports that the property owner is repositioning Braelinn Village to focus on family‑friendly recreation and community services instead of traditional big‑box retail.
Ace Pickleball Club: Membership, Open Play and Programs
Ace Pickleball Club runs a member‑focused, open‑play model built around tiered memberships, clinics, flex leagues and championship‑series events geared to different skill levels. Per Ace Pickleball Club, the Peachtree City location offers starter classes for new players, ball‑machine practice and extended weekday and weekend hours to make drop‑in play easier to schedule.
The club pitches itself as a community hub where staff help players find the right court and get into games quickly, whether they are just figuring out how to hold a paddle or already chasing tournament brackets. According to Ace Pickleball Club, the Peachtree City page highlights starter sessions and membership signups tailored to first‑timers and regulars alike.
Altitude Will Add Mini Golf and a Full‑Service Eatery
Altitude’s plan for its side of the building layers several attractions into one of the chain’s larger Georgia locations. Company materials describe wall‑to‑wall trampolines, a dedicated toddler zone and a sports court, plus a Birdie ParTee 18‑hole links‑style mini‑golf course anchored by a Crave Social Eatery.
PR Newswire outlines how the brand is pairing active entertainment with dining concepts as part of a national rollout, positioning locations like Braelinn Village as all‑afternoon hangouts instead of quick in‑and‑out stops. Braelinn Village tenant listings put Altitude’s footprint at roughly 50,000 square feet.
City Leaders Welcome the New Options
Peachtree City officials are not exactly mourning the loss of the old Kmart. City Manager Justin Strickland told WSB‑TV that having a world‑class indoor facility nearby lets residents “stay active and connect with friends and neighbors all year round in any weather.” City leaders said the amenities support Peachtree City’s Live‑Work‑Play goals and could bring steadier foot traffic to nearby shops and services that once relied on the big‑box anchor.
The shift tracks with a broader trend of turning big‑box and underused retail properties into experience‑driven destinations, where families and social groups spend money on activities and dining instead of traditional shopping. Indoor Active Brands (Altitude’s parent) framed the Peachtree City opening as part of a larger expansion that pairs Altitude with concepts like Birdie ParTee and Crave Social Eatery, per PR Newswire. Local leasing materials for Braelinn Village describe a strategy centered on family‑oriented tenants and community services.
Players and families looking for hours, starter sessions and membership details at the pickleball club can find them on Ace’s Peachtree City page. According to Ace Pickleball Club, the local site currently lists starter classes and membership signups, with more programming expected to roll out over time. Altitude is expected to post its official opening date and ticketing information as the park finalizes its schedule, and once both venues are fully up and running, the former Kmart is poised to become a regular weekend stop for the Atlanta suburbs.
