Pickleball Coming at Fairchild Park: SAN ANTONIO – The racquet sports scene in San Antonio is set to receive a significant boost with the expansion of The King of Padel. The San Diego-based company is establishing a new facility at 314 Nolan St., situated on the East Side near Fairchild Park. This facility, valued at over $7 million, will occupy nearly 100,000 square feet, previously the site of Crusing Kitchen’s food truck storage.
Pickleball Growth
The new pickleball complex will feature a blend of two rapidly growing sports: padel and pickleball. The facility will include six padel courts and eight pickleball courts. Padel, which has gained traction from its popularity in Mexico and South America, requires specialized courts with walls, allowing players to use them similarly to squash. This expansion marks a notable development as the trend of converting tennis courts into pickleball courts continues, but now also embraces the emerging demand for padel.
Facility Details
The courts at the new facility will be available for reservation in one-hour increments, catering to casual players and competitive enthusiasts. The King of Padel’s venture into San Antonio shows the increasing popularity of both sports and the growing demand for specialized racquet facilities.
This development reflects a broader trend in the sports world, where traditional venues are evolving to accommodate new and diverse racquet sports.
