About 30% of pickleball venues in the US already offer padel. If you run a racquet facility, this is what adding a court involves.
Why facilities are adding it
Padel is played in doubles, so every booking brings four players.
It is easy to learn, which helps fill beginner sessions.
US padel clubs grew 51.5% in one year, from 2024 to 2025.

Padel works in both. Indoor courts need enough clear height above the playing area. Outdoor courts need a structure built to resist corrosion, which is why our courts use hot-dip galvanized steel as standard.
