About WhatThePadel.com

WhatThePadel is a curated directory of padel courts across the United States.

Padel is still a growing sport in the US, and finding courts is often harder than it should be. Locations are spread across private clubs, public facilities, temporary installations, and venues that are not always easy to discover through traditional search tools. WhatThePadel exists to make padel locations easy to find, easy to browse, and easy to compare in one place.

Why WhatThePadel Exists

The idea for WhatThePadel came from a real need.

While visiting Los Angeles, it was surprisingly difficult to find a clear and reliable overview of available padel courts. Information was scattered across Google Maps, Yelp, club websites, and social media - often incomplete or outdated. There was no single, purpose-built directory focused on padel.

WhatThePadel was created to solve that problem by providing a simple, overviewable way to discover padel courts across the US.

How Location Data Is Collected

WhatThePadel aggregates padel court information from multiple public sources, including:

All locations are manually reviewed on a best-effort basis before being published. The goal is not just to collect data, but to normalize it into a consistent format that makes locations easier to understand and compare.

Accuracy, Updates, and Corrections

Padel venues change over time. New courts open, access rules change, and facilities close or become private.

WhatThePadel aims to keep listings accurate on a best-effort basis. Details such as pricing, opening hours, and booking instructions can change and may not always be reflected immediately.

If you notice an incorrect listing, missing court, or outdated information, corrections are welcome and encouraged.
You can report issues or suggest updates by emailing [email protected].

Coverage and Scope

WhatThePadel currently lists 189 padel locations across the United States, covering most known padel courts nationwide. The directory is continuously expanding, with new locations added regularly as the sport grows.

The project is intended as a long-term platform, evolving alongside the US padel ecosystem.

Who’s Behind the Site

WhatThePadel is operated by a Swedish padel enthusiast with multiple years of experience playing the sport, based in Sweden and focused on the US market.

The site is independently run and maintained, with an emphasis on clarity, transparency, and usefulness for players, travelers, and anyone looking to find padel courts in the United States.
