Last month, the total number of padel courts in the U.S. finally surpassed the 1,000 mark — and, this month, we’ll be able to add at least 10 more to that tally thanks to Padel Haus opening two new five-court clubs, one in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn and the other in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver.
As Padel Haus’s Chief Growth Officer, Joshua Ulino, told me in a recent conversation:
“Opening our fifth and sixth clubs, and moving into our fourth market, helps cement us as the leading padel club operator in the U.S. and sets us up well for continued growth.
Both of these clubs are distinctly Padel Haus and elevate the standard for what padel clubs can and should be. They are an amazing base for our operations as we grow into our seventh club in Dallas and the clubs that come after that.”
(The addition of five new indoor courts at Padel Haus Greenpoint is also no doubt welcome news for Brooklynite padel addicts who, just last week, learned that nearby Padel& was shuttering due to lease issues and joining an ever-growing number of padel clubs around the U.S. that are closing their doors.)
Padel Haus Greenpoint
Located just steps away from historic McCarren Park on the border of Williamsburg, this brand-new Padel Haus location will closely mirror its four other current locations — including two more in Brooklyn along with one in Atlanta and another in Nashville — by featuring plush locker rooms, spacious lounge areas, a fully stocked pro shop, and the brand’s signature Juice Haus offering (plus very lob-friendly 35-foot-high ceilings, to boot!).
It will also increase the total number of courts Padel Haus operates in the borough of Brooklyn to 16, making it far and away the No. 1 padel club operator in the greater New York City area by court count.
While the Greenpoint location has already started accepting court bookings as of last Friday (May 1st), an official grand-opening celebration won’t be taking place until July 23rd — just prior to the USPA 2000 Major that will be hosted there July 24th - 26th.
And local players are excited, to say the least. This includes friend and fellow padel addict Andrew Weisser, who says:
“As a Padel Haus member for over two years, I’ve watched the brand level up with every club, and Greenpoint sets a new bar. Five indoor courts with incredible ceiling height built to spec for padel, spa-quality locker rooms with rain showers, member lounge, and Juice Haus, a staple at every club.
Sitting directly across from McCarren Park Tennis Center, it isn’t just a world-class facility… it’s a growth engine for the sport. In just a few days on court, I’ve seen more walk-ins curious about padel than anywhere else in NYC. That’s how this sport scales in the U.S.”
Meanwhile, NYC resident, player, and Courtr Founder Antonio Goes tells me:
“Padel Haus has built one of the cleanest operator playbooks in U.S. padel, so honestly their expansion feels natural. And Greenpoint is the right neighborhood: that pocket of Brooklyn is what I’m calling the Sports Quarter — golf, gym, climbing, tennis, pickleball, and now Padel Haus, all wrapped around a single block. They saw it before anyone else did.”
Padel Haus Denver
Although Brooklyn was the initial focus of Padel Haus’s expansion plans, it has also been steadily working to build clubs across the country, with locations in both Atlanta and Nashville opening last year and a Dallas location tentatively set to open later this year (which will feature six indoor courts spread across 25,000 square feet of space).
However, I’d argue that Padel Haus Denver is perhaps the most highly anticipated location of theirs to open outside of Brooklyn thus far.
This is due in large part to the fact that it is the first dedicated padel club in the downtown area of the Mile High City (though operators including Ace Padel and Studio Arenna have announced plans to open clubs nearby, as well).
After a fairly lengthy wait (I first wrote about them breaking ground nearly two years ago), Padel Haus Denver will soft-open next week with five indoor courts, 25-foot-high ceilings, premium locker rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, co-working spaces, and its signature Juice Haus, of course.
Ulino tells me that from there you can expect, “a series of signature Open Haus events over the coming weeks to introduce people around Denver to the Haus,” before they host an official grand opening the weekend of June 26th.
As someone who was born and raised in Colorado — and still spends roughly three to six weeks per year out there — I couldn’t be more excited for Padel Haus Denver to finally open its doors. And I’m obviously not alone.
As Jeff Mayorga, a Denver-based ambassador for performance-focused padel brand Pallap USA, puts it:
“Padel Haus started the trend across the U.S. and continues to lead. As they enter each new city, with each new club, they continue to raise the bar for the U.S. Padel experience. Santiago and his team are a major reason for the growth of padel across the U.S.
The new Denver location brings the padel experience to a new level with superior amenities that create an atmosphere unseen in U.S. padel.”
You can visit Padel Haus Greenpoint at 12 Berry St, Brooklyn, NY, 11249, daily between 7am and 11pm.
