Located in Frankton, Hamilton, it's open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with free intro sessions for newcomers, accredited coaches, and a social programme that's built around bringing people together rather than just filling court time.

About Padel Park
Padel Park opened in late 2025 and immediately stood out in the NZ padel landscape — not just as Hamilton's first padel venue, but as something genuinely different. Combining padel and pickleball under one roof was a first for New Zealand, and the vision behind the venue is equally distinct: Padel Park positions itself as a social sports hub, not just a facility to rent courts.
The three padel courts and three pickleball courts are fully indoor, climate-controlled, and accessible 24/7. Smart vending machines handle equipment hire (rackets, grips, balls) and snack sales outside of staffed hours, so you can rock up at 7am on a Sunday and be on court within minutes.
The coaching programme is built around accredited coaches who know how to work with beginners and community players — not just competitive athletes. Free intro sessions lower the barrier to entry to basically zero. After your intro session, social formats like Americanos (a round-robin doubles format where you rotate partners) are $10/person and genuinely fun even if you've only played once before.
The Business House Social Padel League — a 3-week competition for teams — is already popular with Waikato businesses looking for something more interesting than another work golf day. Padel Park also has a relaxed hangout and social space where players can hang out between sets or after games.
