Glendowie Padel Indoors — Padel Courts in Glendowie, Auckland
Glendowie Padel Indoors — Padel Courts in Glendowie, Auckland
Weather-proof, year-round indoor padel in East Auckland. Glendowie Padel Indoors opened mid-2025 with two premium covered courts at the Glendowie Rackets Club — and it's quickly become one of Auckland's top venues. The 11-metre-high roof with double-layer canvas keeps condensation at bay even during early morning or late night sessions, and the five certified padel coaches make it the best coaching programme in the city. If you want to actually get good at padel (rather than just flail around having fun), this is where to come.

About Glendowie Padel Indoors
Glendowie Padel Indoors is one of those venues that's genuinely impressive the first time you walk in. The covered structure is 11 metres high with double-layer canvas walls — designed specifically to handle Auckland's variable weather while controlling condensation. No slipping on damp surfaces, no cutting sessions short because it's raining, no excuses not to play.
The venue sits within the broader Glendowie Rackets Club grounds, which includes six tennis courts and a pickleball court, plus a clubhouse with changing rooms, toilets, and a bar. It's a proper sports club with a community feel — not a corporate facility.
What sets Glendowie apart from most Auckland padel venues is the coaching programme. Five New Zealand-certified padel coaches are available through The Racket, running sessions for everyone from juniors to seniors. Whether you're booking your first-ever padel lesson or want to take your game to a competitive level, the coaching here is the best in the city.
Rackets and balls are available for hire or purchase on site, so you don't need to bring anything special for your first visit.
