Padeland, a first-of-its-kind indoor destination fusing padel, pickleball, wellness and hospitality, is set to open in Chandler in late 2025, bringing a fresh spin to the state’s sports and social scene. The 35,000+ square-foot facility blends professional-grade indoor courts with lifestyle-forward amenities, all designed for activity, connection and revitalization.
Currently under development in the former LOOK Dine-In Cinemas facility in Downtown Chandler, Padeland breathes new life into the space with four padel courts, five pickleball courts, a full-scale craft brewery and taproom, restaurant, coffee shop, coworking space and a wide range of wellness and hospitality features.
Padel is the world’s fastest-growing sport, even outpacing the wildly popular pickleball internationally. A fast-paced racquet sport that originated in Mexico in the 1960s, padel combines elements of tennis and squash and is typically played in doubles on a smaller, glass-walled court. The game is known for its long rallies, strategic angles and approachable rules, making it popular with both new and experienced players.
According to the International Padel Federation, more than 30 million people play the sport in over 140 countries. As padel gains momentum in the U.S., Padeland aims to lead its growth in Arizona, especially in communities that value both wellness and recreation.
“We set out to build something we couldn’t find here in the Valley: a fun social environment that blends movement, wellness and good vibes,” said Daniel Maldonado, Co-founder of Padeland. “Padeland brings together sport, community and great food and drink in a space that’s as exciting and inspiring as the game itself.”
Beyond the court, Padeland includes a wellness lounge with cold plunge therapy, sauna and recovery tools, as well as a dedicated coworking area for remote professionals.
Guests can also enjoy full-service food and beverage options, including a coffee bar, modern restaurant and on-site craft brewery. Whether visitors come in the morning for a match, stop by mid-day to work, or gather in the evening with friends, Padeland is designed to be a lifestyle destination where members and day visitors can connect with competition and camaraderie. For ease of access in the busy Downtown Chandler area, Padeland customers will have access to a five-story covered parking garage.
The Chandler location marks the first in a series of planned venues across the region. Each will reflect the character of its local community while staying true to the Padeland values of excellence, inclusivity and global inspiration.
