Park Padel: Reviews
Fantastic experience: This park is amazing!
Negative experience: Disappointed with today’s social hour experience I usually enjoy Park Paddle socials — they’re a great way to meet people and play fair, organized games. However, during today’s session, something quite unfair happened. My name was called for the last game, but two ladies decided among themselves to take my spot so they could play together, without even checking with me or the organizer. This goes against the spirit of a social — everyone should get a fair rotation, especially when names are called out. It was awkward and honestly pretty rude. Thankfully, the organizer managed to adjust me into another court, but it still felt unfair and unprofessional. I’d really appreciate if Park Paddle reminded players to respect the rotation system and not self-select games at the last minute. If people want to play together, they should communicate that ahead of time — not at the expense of others who also paid and showed up to play.
Hi Riddhi,
We are very sorry you had such a poor social experience and I'm sorry the other players made you feel that way. I've also followed up with you directly to see if we can help remedy for the future.
We appreciate your business.

Negative experience: Treat your customers better irrespective of their appearance.

Fantastic experience: Booked a corporate session for 16 of us and Charles was fantastic, got everyone involved regardless of ability, and made the session great fun. Highly recommend for both corporate groups and anyone looking to try padel.
Fantastic experience: Es un bonito lugar para ir con amigos o con la familia
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend a corporate outing to Park Padel, we loved the experience, our coach was great and we laughed and had a great time.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place for a corporate event. I organized an office outing for ~20 of us. We rented two courts for two hours. No one had played padel before. Everyone had a blast. Instructors/staff there when you needed it, but also was happy to just let us play. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for coming Austin! We’d love to have you again.

Fantastic experience: Popped in for my first ever lesson in February 2024 and in the year that followed, spent over 150 hours here So I can confidently say that this is the best place to spend your time in San Francisco: great community, friendly staff, easy learning curve, and all that SF has to offer right on the doorstep (Jedi duels, trivia events, live music, farmer's market, midnight run club, juggling club)
Jordan we love having you at the club!! Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us.
Fantastic experience: Can't rave about Park Padel enough!! Everything starting from the team, to the location, to the activity itself is absolutely fantastic!! So energetic, so fun and sooo inclusive (Beginners don't fret!) I hosted a team bonding event here and the team loved it - Would highly recommend if you are looking for your next team event venue/activity. Huge shoutout to Aitana - who is the best paddle instructor you'll ever meet, THANK YOU!!!
Fantastic experience: Such a fun concept and feels like it’ll be the first of more to come. Very welcome add to the city!
Fantastic experience: Had a great corporate event here! coach Aitana was a great communicator
Fantastic experience: Right on the Embarcadero with stunning views. Fun and social. Great for all skill levels, welcoming atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: So much fun!! Went with my company on an outing and team building/ social event and had a blast! The staff is so nice and Aitana our instructor was an amazing coach! Plus we brought catering from PetitPairings! The perfect combination @petitpairings @parkpadel
Thank you so much for coming we loved hosting your team!
Fantastic experience: Must try game! Jessica is the best.
Thanks so much for coming by Michael- would love you have you back!
Fantastic experience: Park Padel went above and beyond for our company outing! The Team was extremely helpful in either training those of us who are new to the Padel world, or challenging those who are pro's. We were able to order a couple appetizers and set them up right outside the courts which made it super easy for folks to take a quick snack break between matches. We are 100% going to be coming back for another event!
Fantastic experience: Super fun game, great location with amazing views, lovely community!
We love having you at the club Halil!
Fantastic experience: Great location with awesome views and super friendly staff. All courts are outdoors as a heads up so be prepared, looking forward to more games!
Fantastic experience: So much fun!!
Fantastic experience: While walking around the Embarcadero Ferry building area of San Francisco, I noticed a court structure near the Vaillancourt fountain. As I walked over to visit, I learned that Park Padel has been available in SF since November 2023. Although I didn't have time to play, the representative was very informative and helpful in explaining the Padel game and rules. The Park Padel court location is perfect for the Embarcadero and is creating a positive vibe to the area.
So glad you stopped by! We would love to have you out on the courts when you have the time ❤️
Fantastic experience: Looks awesome!! I wonder if there is anything like this around San jose. I'd love to play this sport. Started with pickleball but I'd like to try padelball as well.
Fantastic experience: Recently hosted a padel tournament for our office and we had an absolute blast! It was the perfect way to spend time together in a new way that isn't just the typical happy hour and allowed for some friendly competition. Accessible for players of all skill level and a great atmosphere for those who want to hang out and spectate. The team at Park Padel is top-tier and made the experience of planning and hosting the event seamless! Thank you to those who I coordinated with over email - Neil, Jessica, and Katie, for being so responsive and answering any and all questions we had. Not only was it super easy to reserve a date/time for the main event but many of us were brand new to padel so they helped get us set up in clinics and private lessons with their head coach Aitana in preparation for the tournament. Every person (including myself) who was able to attend a lesson beforehand had so much fun getting familiar with the sport and it was a great way to build excitement before the tournament! Aitana is an awesome coach with a direct and encouraging coaching style! During the tournament, Aitana, Maxine, and Kai were amazing! They helped to keep us all on track and were there to explain the rules of the game and tournament, guide us through check-ins, help call out match-ups, and keep score. As the event planner it was so nice to be able to leave these details in their capable hands and just enjoy the festivities with my colleagues :) Big thanks to the Park Padel for providing such a memorable experience!
Fantastic experience: The team is so accommodating and inclusive, and this spot is becoming a critical part of the city’s rejuvenation.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to play Padel! Friendly staff and great location.
Fantastic experience: Had an awesome time at Park Padel right in the center of Embarcadero Plaza! It's so cool to have such a chill spot outdoors for padel. The vibe here is thanks to Jess Neil and Katie, the owners, who seriously know what they’re doing. I've had the pleasure of meeting them through a few sessions and they are super welcoming and friendly. They’ve brought in some top-notch gear that makes playing here feel really premium. The courts are solid – nothing cheap or flimsy about them, which is a breath of fresh air. I think the vibe here is all about making everyone feel welcome, whether you’re practically a pro or just picking up a padel racket for the first time. There is so much heart in this place, and it shows. Playing here is not just about the game; it’s about hanging out, meeting cool people, making connections, and just having a good time. If you’re into padel or just looking to try something new, you’ve gotta check out Park Padel. It’s a great spot to hit some balls and chill with friends.
Fantastic experience: Such a fun sport - loved getting to learn and try out something new! Also such a gorgeous location right in the heart of SF! Cant wait to go back :)
Fantastic experience: Absolute best padel courts around !
Fantastic experience: What a delight! Incredible location, fun sport & super friendly staff and coaches! It’s such a great workout. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Took the Beginner Clinic at Park Padel and had a great experience. The place itself is really cool - I played at night, with the moon overhead and the Ferry Building all lit-up behind us! Very cool spot. Will go back to play again soon.
Fantastic experience: Such gorgeous courts and an awesome staff! It was my first time playing and they were so supportive and helpful. The courts are just stunning and in such a convenient location to play after work. Can't wait to play more!
Fantastic experience: Incredible team. They helped me learn the sport quickly and unfortunately now I'm addicted. Such a friendly staff and fun experience. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Tried Park Padel a couple weeks ago and loved it! Had played tennis in the past but nothing like this. Easy to book, and fun to play! Definitely will come back once I’m in town again!
Fantastic experience: Staff is really friendly, facilities are great, and the game is a lot of fun. Great experience, highly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: Well maintained courts in an iconic spot in the middle of SF! Got to play once passing through, but wish I was around more to take advantage of this spot. Active community and friendly staff made it very easy to book and play!
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and coaches. Love the convenient location. I'm new to the sport and Park Padel has me excited about it!
Fantastic experience: Played padel here for the first time a few days ago and back again for round 2!! Really love this sport and learning has been so fun with the supportive and awesome team here! So glad this sport has made its way to the bay!
Fantastic experience: I love Park Padel! As a tennis player and pickleball newbie, I have had a blast learning about Padel. It’s such a fun game to play and you can’t beat the view in front of the Ferry Building! The staff are fantastic and booking reservations is pretty simple. There are community playtimes available for non-members to try it out as well. I definitely recommend checking it out whether you are a tennis/pickleball player or not.
Fantastic experience: I came here for a birthday party - we had the best time learning a new sport and hanging out! The Padel team is incredibly helpful -- they explained everything you needed to know to play as a first-timer, had all the equipment on-hand, and there was even a lounge area to hang out in between matches. They even helped us organize a mini tournament! Highly recommend this for any company offsite, group hangout, or just for a Saturday afternoon activity on a sunny day. Can't wait to come back and play again!
Fantastic experience: Such a fun experience! We had a big group and they let us bring food and rent both courts. While some folks played, others got to chill on the couches and socialize.
Fantastic experience: I just had my birthday party here and booked out both courts. It was an absolute blast. If you haven't played Padel, it's akin to a cross between tennis and squash, but more fun IMO than either. Most of my group of a dozen or so had never played, and everyone had so much fun learning the game, developing fun skills like playing balls off the wall, and more. The location is unbeatable, the environment is great - they've got couches and lounge chairs to hang out in if you're not playing, and the proximity to the ferry building makes it so easy to come from anywhere, whether bart or ferry or driving. The staff is amazing, super helpful, with folks to help you learn the game or play with you if you don't have a big enough group for a full game. I can't recommend highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Great location, friendly staff, and a ton of fun!
Negative experience: Padel is really fun, but the costs are so high that it’s inaccessible to 95% of the city. $50 for an hour of play time per person is wildly high, and it’s made even worse by the fact that within 20 feet are often homeless people sleeping on the ground. No doubt that it’s fun, but it just highlights issues with the city- why are we investing more in super high end activities when there’s more important issues. If anything, the courts should be moved somewhere less busy and expensive so that costs can be made accessible. They do have “community hours” which have lower prices, but it’s during the work day so the people that would need lower prices are most likely working (like myself).
Hey John,
Just wanted to offer a quick correction. The cost is actually $40 per person per hour. We also offer free hours to the community Monday-Thursday from 2-4pm that is bookable directly in our app! We provide the rackets, balls, and some instruction on how to play during those hours as a way to make this sport a bit more accessible to the community. As far as unhoused community, they are a part of San Francisco and Park Padel cannot control that, but we have seen a resurgence a of energy and safety in Embarcadero Plaza since we have been operating. We hope that you come try it out for yourself some time- you’re likely to enjoy it!
Fantastic experience: We played padel here for the first time and had so much fun! The team was very friendly and helpful. They have rackets, balls and everything you might need. There’s even a nice area with couches and chairs to just kick back and watch people play. Can’t wait to come back.
Fantastic experience: Excellent location and super friendly and knowledgeable staff—best padel courts in the city!
Fantastic experience: So excited that someone finally brought Padel to the Bay!! What a cool club!
Fantastic experience: Amazing first padel courts in San Francisco. Every detail is wonderfully thought through, and the location is unbeatable. Glad I bought my membership early - I hope they stay here forever!
