Five entertainment and wellness venues open their doors, adding indoor pickleball, golf simulators, wine tasting, and recovery therapies to the local economy
(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — Simi Valley residents can now sink a golf shot, toast a glass of local wine next to their dog, and thaw out in a cryotherapy chamber, all without crossing city lines. Five businesses have opened or expanded across town in recent months, and none of them stay open on good intentions. If residents want these kinds of options to stick around, showing up is the deciding factor.
Pickle N'Play Arena, located at 1457 E Los Angeles Ave., combines indoor pickleball courts with trampolines, rock climbing, arcade games, soft play areas and basketball courts under one roof. The facility is designed for all ages and offers families a year-round venue for active recreation. The mix of activities gives parents and children multiple ways to stay engaged during a single visit. For more information, go to picklenplay.net/
The Bunker Club House, situated at 4180 Guardian St., Suite 109, centers its business around golf simulators, sports viewing, and food and beverage service. The venue is built for casual outings and group events, giving golfers and sports fans a place to gather that does not depend on weather or tee times. It adds another option for social recreation that mixes competition with hospitality. More information is available at bunkerclubhouse.com/
Nectar of the Dogs Wine has expanded to a new location at 971 Chamber Lane, in Suite 130, adding handcrafted California wines, live music, private events and a dog-friendly outdoor space. The expanded venue creates a local destination for wine culture and entertainment that welcomes both residents and visitors. Live performances and a relaxed atmosphere make it a community gathering spot that emphasizes local flavor and connection. For details and reservations, go to nectarofthedogswine.com/

White Sands Wellness Club brings advanced recovery and longevity therapies to the city, including cryotherapy, infrared sauna sessions and red light therapy. The luxury wellness destination located at 1445 E. los Angeles Avenue, Suite 100, is designed for residents who want to invest in long-term health through innovative treatments. The club positions itself as a premium wellness experience with a focus on recovery and prevention.
The openings and expansion follow a broader wave of business activity in the city. According to the city's July Focus Newsletter, officials also received updates on the anticipated arrival of Whole Foods and the relocation of Pennymac, both expected to support job creation and investment in Simi Valley.
New and expanding businesses in a town this size depend on local traffic to survive their first year. A pickleball court, a wine bar, a wellness club, they only become fixtures if people actually walk through the door instead of just talking about wanting somewhere to go.
