9OH-411: New Pickleball complex & fast-track nursing coming to JU!

Jacksonville keeps finding new ways to level up, and two recent developments show just how much the city is growing.

First, there’s a brand-new entertainment concept on the way: the Coastal Pickleball Club. Planned for Mayport Road near Hanna Park, this future hotspot will feature eight pickleball courts, a full restaurant, outdoor cabanas, live music, and even a golf simulator. It’s not just about the game — it’s shaping up to be a full hangout spot where you can play, eat, and relax all in one place.

At the same time, Jacksonville University is making moves that could impact a lot of lives with a new fast-track nursing program. Designed for people who already have a bachelor’s degree, the program allows students to become registered nurses in just 12 months, with hands-on training through the Mayo Clinic. It’s a big opportunity for anyone thinking about a career change — and another sign that Jacksonville isn’t just growing in entertainment, but also investing in its future workforce.
