Even More U.S. Padel Club Openings To Get Excited About
AZ, CA, CO, UT, and VA will soon have 20+ new padel courts...
For the third month in a row, I’ve teamed up with Aris Sevastianos (of the El Remate padel newsletter) to bring you a curated list of upcoming U.S. padel club openings that should be on your radar.
(If you missed our previous months’ lists you can find them here and here).
So far, we’ve detailed 14 clubs that are bringing 91 courts to eight states across the U.S., and this month we highlight five new clubs (including two that are opening this weekend) in five different states that will soon be bringing at least 20 new padel courts to the U.S. (Yes, that’s a lot to keep track of!).
This month’s list includes:
Bay Padel (San Jose, CA)
After bringing three previous clubs to the Bay area (two in San Francisco and one in Sunnyvale), Bay Padel is getting ready to open its fourth club further down the bay in San Jose.
In fact, this six-outdoor-court club will have its official soft opening this weekend, with a full day of padel (including a tournament), live music, and “Intro to Padel” sessions taking place this Saturday, July 11 from 9AM to 6PM.
This will be followed by Bay Padel opening yet another padel club in California later this year (this time in the Marina del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles) — so be sure to stay tuned for more details on that one.
Estimated Opening Date: July 11, 2026 (Soft Opening)
Padel Park (West Jordan, UT)
Yet another padel club in the Western half of the country will have its coming-out party this weekend when Padel Park hosts its grand opening this Saturday, July 11 in West Jordan, Utah (just about 20 - 25 minutes south of downtown Salt Lake City).
As we covered a few months back, Padel Park is one of at least six padel clubs that will soon be open in the greater Salt Lake City area, and it will add another six indoor MejorSet courts (with 40-foot ceilings!) to the region’s rapidly growing roster of places to play.
From 10AM to 2PM this Saturday, you’re invited to come play, meet the community, enjoy free beginner clinics and open play, participate in giveaways, explore goods from local vendors, and see what Padel Park is all about. Just be sure to RSVP here.
Estimated Opening Date: July 11, 2026 (Grand Opening)
Three Rackets (Broomfield, CO)
A concept known as Three Rackets will soon join Nicol NJ, Ballers Philly and The Heights Racquet & Social Club (outside Minneapolis) on the the short — but growing — list of U.S. racquet clubs that offer padel, pickleball, and squash (though, sadly, The Heights is still the only one with doubles squash courts).
As you can see in this Instagram video tour, when it opens later this summer between Boulder and Denver, Three Rackets will feature five indoor Favaretti padel courts housed in a 34,000 square foot space with 32-foot-high ceilings.
This will accompany three all-glass squash courts and four pickleball courts along with spa-like locker rooms, lounge and social space, a fully stocked pro shop, and a kitchen and bar.
Estimated Opening Date: Summer 2026
Padeland (Chandler, AZ)
The greater Phoenix area will soon have even more places to play when Padeland brings three indoor padel courts (along with seven pickleball courts, a wellness space with cold plunge and sauna, a full restaurant, and a craft brewery) to downtown Chandler.
Of the project, co-founder Daniel Maldonado told AZ Big Media:
We set out to build something we couldn’t find here in the Valley: a fun social environment that blends movement, wellness and good vibes. Padeland brings together sport, community and great food and drink in a space that’s as exciting and inspiring as the game itself.
Speaking of the space, the 35,000 square foot building Padeland will soon call home is the former site of the LOOK Dine-In Cinemas facility — which, while I’m admittedly biased, seems like a great way to repurpose a huge amount of vacant real estate!
Estimate Opening Date: Summer 2026
Padel Foundry (Virginia Beach, VA)
On the opposite side of the country from Padeland, yet another former, long-empty movie theatre (once known as the Beach Cinema Alehouse) is being re-imagined as a padel club thanks to a new concept called Padel Foundry, which will bring the first-ever padel courts to Virginia Beach.
While the total number of courts has not been disclosed yet, we do know the founders plan to open, “a purpose-built indoor padel and wellness destination designed to bring sport, recovery, learning, and community together under one roof.”
Although the initial reception to the announcement was a bit frosty (on Instagram, at least), perhaps the rise of padel in other Virginia cities like Charlottesville, Richmond, and Sterling will eventually catch the attention of Virginians in the southern part of the state and convince them to give the sport a go.
Estimated Opening Date: Spring 2027
