While I have recently written articles about the fact that padel is starting to gain some real traction in both Boston and Chicago, I’ve also had my eye on Dallas — and with good reason…
After all, not only did Kraken Padel Club (a four-court, indoor facility in Farmer’s Branch) just host a USPA 250 tournament this past weekend, but recently Dallas has been all over the padel news, albeit somewhat quietly.
These Dallas padel headlines include:
Austin-based upscale padel purveyor Padel39 recently acquiring the Dallas Padel Club and undertaking a multi-million-dollar renovation that will add seven outdoor courts to its existing three indoor courts along with premium food and beverage offerings, a HYROX fitness and recovery area, wellness facilities (including sauna, cold plunge, etc.), and luxury locker rooms.
Leading U.S. padel-club operator Padel Haus announcing late last year that it would be opening its seventh location in the heart of the Dallas Design District. This six-court indoor club is scheduled to open in late 2026 and, in typical Padel Haus fashion, will offer premium locker rooms and showers, a fully equipped gym with dedicated recovery and wellness spaces, several multipurpose rooms, a unique padel art collection, and the brand’s signature Juice Haus café.
Announcements from both Ace Padel and Studio Arenna that they would be opening padel clubs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. While Ace Padel is looking to open a six-court indoor facility in a building that formerly housed the Metropolitan Community Church of Dallas, Studio Arenna has signed a lease for an 18,000 square-foot, build-to-suit indoor facility at The Railyard Crossing, a new mixed-use development located North Richland Hills, Texas.
As soon we have further details on all of these various DFW padel club openings, we’ll back with more.
