10by20 Padel Wellington: Public Padel Comes to Polo Country

For years, padel growth in South Florida has been driven by private clubs in Miami-Dade and Broward. Wellington — better known for polo, dressage, and equestrian estates — is now getting a different kind of facility: a public-access padel club, embedded inside the village's municipal tennis center, backed by one of the most recognizable names in Latin music.

10by20 Padel Wellington is the third U.S. project from 10by20 LLC, the padel operator co-led by reggaeton icon Ramón "Daddy Yankee" Ayala. It's scheduled to open in early 2026 at 3100 Lyons Rd, alongside an expanded slate of tennis and pickleball courts that the Village of Wellington approved as part of a larger Tennis Center modernization.

10by20 Padel Wellington: 7 Courts, Public Access

The new build adds seven outdoor padel courts to the Wellington Tennis Center site — a meaningful jump for a county that, until recently, leaned heavily on members-only clubs and a handful of South Florida hubs. Court bookings will be open to the public, with a 15% court rental discount for Tennis Center members and a 10% discount for Wellington residents written into the partnership.

The 10by20 + Village of Wellington Partnership ($1.5M)

The Wellington project is structured as a public–private partnership, not a typical commercial lease. According to village documents covered by local outlets, 10by20 is investing roughly $1.5 million to design, build, and operate the seven padel courts on village-owned land. The initial term is 10 years with an option to extend another 10. After that, the courts revert to Wellington — meaning the village is effectively buying a long-term public padel facility, financed by a private operator.

A few details that matter for players:

• Resident discount: 10% off court rentals for anyone with a Wellington address
• Member discount: 15% off for Tennis Center members
• Community access: 10by20 has agreed to run a program giving Wellington's disadvantaged youth and seniors structured access to the sport

That last piece is unusual for a U.S. padel build. Most new clubs lean on premium pricing and chase the country-club demographic; the Wellington partnership trades some of that upside for community access in exchange for a long lease on village land.

Daddy Yankee, 10by20 LLC, and Why It Matters

10by20 LLC takes its name from the dimensions of a padel court (10m × 20m). CEO Luis Carrero runs day-to-day operations; Daddy Yankee is listed on the original proposal to Wellington as "Urban King and Icon, Marketing" and is a meaningful investor in the company. He also owns a piece of the Pro Padel League and its Orlando franchise, which makes him one of the more active celebrity backers of U.S. padel.

10by20 already operates a club in Broward County (Cooper City) and is the operator behind the Wellington build. The brand's pitch is partnerships rather than greenfield builds — embedding padel inside existing racquet, country club, and resort properties. That model is part of why Wellington went with 10by20 in the first place: the village wanted padel inside its tennis center, not a new standalone facility on the other side of town.

How Wellington Fits Into Palm Beach County's Padel Boom

Wellington has long been the racquet-sports backwater of Palm Beach County compared to coastal hubs. That's changing fast. A short drive east, West Palm Beach has stacked up several commercial padel clubs in the last 18 months — Xcel Padel West Palm (12 indoor courts), Palm Beach Padel, Padel Club Palm Beach, and DUS Padel (opening with 6 indoor courts). Further south, Replay Club in Boynton Beach now runs 10 indoor courts, and Padel X Boca Raton anchors the Boca scene with 8.

What 10by20 Wellington adds is the first publicly accessible, municipally owned padel hub in the county. For players in the central and western parts of Palm Beach County — Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, Westlake, and Wellington itself — it's also the closest dedicated padel facility, period.
