Padel Centre — Padel Courts in Richmond, Nelson/Tasman
The top of the South Island now has padel — and it's some of the most affordable in the country. Padel Centre opened in late 2025 at 13 Coman Drive, Richmond, bringing three fully indoor courts to the heart of the Nelson/Tasman region's fastest-growing suburb. With access from 5am to 11pm daily, per-person pricing from $15, and membership plans for regular players, it's built to be used, not just admired.

About Padel Centre
Richmond is the fastest-growing area in the Nelson/Tasman region, and Padel Centre has positioned itself right at the heart of it. Located in Coman Drive — close to the Berryfields residential development and well-connected to Richmond, Nelson city, Motueka, and the Tasman region broadly — the venue is designed to grow with the community around it.
Three indoor courts mean you can usually get a booking without the usual scramble for slots. Indoor play also means you're not at the mercy of Nelson's otherwise gorgeous (but occasionally wild) weather. The courts use secure keyless entry, so access outside of staffed hours is smooth and straightforward.
Facilities include showers, changing rooms, and social areas — the kind of practical amenities that make it easy to come straight from work or before your morning commute. The 5am opening time is serious: this is a venue for people who actually want to use their court time.
What really stands out is the pricing structure. At $15/person in off-peak hours, Padel Centre offers some of the most accessible padel in New Zealand. Membership plans make it even better for regulars — $19.99/month gets you 20% off off-peak, and $29.99/month gets 35% off. There's also a full-court membership at $99.99/month with 25% off court time, aimed at dedicated players who want guaranteed court access.
Coaching, social matches, and leagues are all part of the mix — the venue is building a proper padel community in Nelson/Tasman, not just renting court space.
