The Pad Tucson

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Staff, courts and facilities are top notch! Best place to play in Tucson. What Patty Crouch fails to omit is he is a begginer (check dupr ) and should be looking for other beginners/friends to paddle up with. Yes, people should be paddling up to get a court, can't fault that. But people want to play with others close to their skill level. No one wins or has fun playing with huge skill gaps between players.

Fantastic experience: Great courts. They also rent out pickleball rackets, it’s very convenient.

Fantastic experience: Great place to play pickleball !

Negative experience: [  ] UPDATE ⚠️ It was worse this time than the first. ➡️➡️ I was invited back here by friends for Labor Day and foolishly went. I arrived early so was on my own again, not knowing anyone. Well same shit different day.People skipping the paddle rack, which there were paddles in,  and playing multiple games without rotating. One employee in ponytail finally stopped it but again this was after paddles in rack skipped repeatedly.The cherry on top today was  when I  paddled into a group of 3. One in the group told me specifically we were up and I headed to the court. The 3 of them I was paddled in with did not   come to the court because they decided they wanted their own 4th (an employee at the Pad name Giselle who had not paddled in and I believe was on the clock, because when I asked, nobody would shoot me a straight answer.) I sat there on the court by myself as the 3 of them watched me but did not come.I was called off the court by the friend who could hear their conversation, which consisted of we want to play with our group. I think the worst part for me was that an employee took my spot instead of myself , who foolishly paid to be treated like this. I hate Clicky Pickleball and that is exactly what this was and also offensive because I paddled in just like everyone else and played with who I got all day. Why is it so hard to do the right thing? ]]] ⬅️⬅️. (ORIGINAL REVIEW) I was back to Tucson and I was soooo looking forward to playing at The Pad and unfortunately was sooooo dissapointed. I went to The Pad a day early before recent tournament. I went in and asked if I could look around and was told yes. I went out and looked and headed back to the desk.I asked if they had any tournament info for the next day and the desk attendant said they knew nothing about it. I confirmed online that it was indeed there and the next evening. I secured/confirmed registration and headed back the next evening. I was told we could play/ warm up since we were paying a $18 venue fee. I went in put my paddle up in the next spot and continously was not paired up with anyone, while groups of 4 stayed together and paddled in together and even skipped me altogether. At last after being skipped two times, an amazing couple paddled in with me and played. The tournament started and I was already dripping sweat and hot and uncomfortable. I looked over and saw it was 87° inside. When I said something the response was that the owner knows but has not done anything about it.For myself personally , I would not be paying $100 a month to play inside without air conditioning especially during the hot months..For myself the experience was really negative. I have since played at the other indoor venue in Tucson, ACE and the experience was completely the opposite, from paddling in at each court, proper A/C to the staff checking in on players . Anyway that was my experience and the fact that I had to pay $18 for it ensures I will definitely not be back unless as a guest and the air conditioner works. I think the worst thing is that when you are excited about something and turns out to be nothing what you thought or expected.

Positive experience: Great place to go have a good time playing pickleball, good customer service

Fantastic experience: Went mid-day and played with Giselle and another friend. Nice atmosphere, fun play.

Fantastic experience: Great Owner and Staff! The pad hosts high level tournaments and is home to some of Tucsons best pickle ballers.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome way better than corbettes . Beautifully designed indoor Pickleball court and tennis court perfect for the Arizona heat to be indoors. Great selection of beverages and cool indoor courts . Worth checking out and raving about ! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: We stumbled upon the pad while looking for a summer camp and I’m so glad we did! From the very beginning, Riva, Andrew, and Giselle were so helpful and kind. They made signing up easy, answered all our questions over the phone, and you can tell they truly care about the kids and keeping them active and engaged. The vibe is always lively and fun! There was a water balloon fight, father’s day arts and crafts, card games, and music….the perfect mix of energy and creativity. Our kids came home happy, tired (in a good way!) and already asking when they could go back. We highly recommend if you’re looking for a positive, welcoming space where kids can have fun, stay active, and be themselves. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Just had a lesson with Coach Giselle Montoya. She was outstanding. The facility clean, well equipped and COOL. I highly recommend the place and of course Coach Giselle.

Fantastic experience: Great place to stay out of the heat! There are plenty of courts but it’s getting popular, so come early!! They have a bar with yummy drinks, or you can even get an espresso. New fave place!!

Fantastic experience: Best pickleball and padel venue in Tucson. It's a great place to hang out even if you aren't playing pickleball. Lounge seating for spectators, bar, tvs, ping pong
