Regional overview: the Golden Gate Bridge and southern Marin to the northwest, Alcatraz and San Francisco across the Bay Bridge from Oakland, Treasure Island mid-bay, Alameda to the south, reached from Oakland by the Park Street Bridge, which crosses the estuary onto Alameda Island; Oakland Padel is on the Oakland side, before that bridge; nearby communities: Downtown Oakland, Jack London Square, Lake Merritt / Grand Lake, Piedmont, Emeryville, Berkeley, Alameda, San Leandro and Castro Valley; and Oakland Padel on the Oakland waterfront by I-880. Close-up: Embarcadero runs along the waterfront from Brooklyn Basin to Dennison Street; the venue is at Dennison and Cotton Street, between Embarcadero and I-880, on the Oakland side of the Coast Guard Island Bridge, a separate local bridge to Coast Guard Island (not the Park Street Bridge). From I-880 take Exit 39B: 23rd Avenue northbound, 23rd Avenue / Alameda southbound.
Oakland Padel is on the Oakland side, before the Park Street Bridge.

About Oakland Padel
Built by Oaklanders. For the people.
We’re Oaklanders who fell in love with padel - and the community it creates. We brought our kids and their friends across the bridge, handed everybody rackets and had an absolute blast - even when half the game was really just chasing balls. We loved every chaotic minute. We just didn’t love spending nearly $150 an hour to make it happen.
So we bought two state-of-the-art courts and built a different model: more affordable, closer to home and designed so more families, friends and first-timers can get in the game.
Thanks for helping us bring padel to the people.
Community
Let’s make room for each other.
New players, women’s groups, coaches, schools planning an event, and local groups looking to collaborate - tell us what you have in mind.

Do I need a racket or balls?
No. Rackets and balls are included, although you are welcome to bring your own.
How does court pricing work - and why does Oakland Padel cost less?
Brand-new professional-grade courts. $18.75 per person per hour when four players split the court — $75 per court, per hour, or about $28 each for 90 minutes. We keep the outdoor model simple so East Bay players get more time on court without crossing the bridge.
Because lower price does not mean lower quality.
Our courts are brand new and professional-grade, installed by Mike Erwin and Lefty Padel. Mike brings more than 30 years of racket-sports, facility-development and installation experience, with work spanning major clubs, university facilities, mixed-use developments and high-profile event installations.
Oakland’s mild waterfront climate gives us the opportunity to operate a simpler outdoor-first model with leaner overhead - and pass that difference on to players. Before Oakland Padel, East Bay players generally had to cross the bridge or drive south to find a court. We saw an opportunity to bring the game closer to home and make it easier for more people to play.
Start with one hour, or book 90 minutes for more time to warm up, find your rhythm and enjoy a match.
$18.75 per person per hour when four players split the court. 90 minutes: $112.50 per court · about $28 each. These are approximate shares assuming four players split the court. You book and pay for the court, not per person. Rackets and balls are included.
And value does not stop at the court rental. Coming soon, Patty - our Tennibot Partner AI padel machine - will give beginners, families and experienced players another way to practice, build confidence and get more from the court.
Meet Mike and see select projectsDon’t have four players?
No problem. You book the court, not individual places: $75 per court, per hour. The $18.75 hourly share assumes four players split the court; fewer players share the same court price. Special offers and matches with Patty are coming soon.
Can I bring the kids?
Yes. The fenced lot has room for kids to move around and play while remaining in the care of their adults.
Do you offer a kids rate?
Family Court Hours are coming soon, with offer details to follow.
$18.75 per person per hour when four players split the court — $75 per court, per hour. You book and pay for the court, not per person. At least one responsible adult must book and remain present, and kids stay in the care of their adults. Join the newsletter and choose Family play to hear when the first sessions open.
When can I play?
Courts are expected to be delivered late November, with a soft opening targeted for mid-December — a target, not a confirmed date. Once open, courts will be available 24/7. Booked players also have access to the indoor lounge and bathrooms during their reserved court time, regardless of the hour.
How do I get in?
Entry is by access code, sent to you before your booked session. The code works for your reserved court time.
Reserving now does not generate an access code immediately. We’ll send it with your entry instructions before your session. During your reserved court time, the code also gives you access to the indoor lounge and bathrooms alongside the courts.
How do I pay?
Reserving today is free. Payment details will follow before opening.
Can we bring food, the kids or a bigger group?
Yes. Bring lunch, pack a cooler or order delivery and make a few hours of it. The fenced lot has room for groups, games and kids to move around.
Two courts let eight people play at once, and our approximately 10,000 square foot fenced lot leaves more than 5,000 square feet beyond the court footprint. Kids remain in the care of their adults. Planning a corporate outing, birthday, school group or community gathering? Get in touch and we will help you think it through.
