When does PURE Pickleball & Padel open?

PURE is targeting a 2027 opening. The project received full building-permit approval in April 2026 after a roughly 900-day permitting process, and developer Caliber is finalizing construction financing before a groundbreaking announcement. No exact opening date has been set yet.

How many padel courts will PURE have?

PURE is planned with 8 indoor padel courts, alongside 40 indoor pickleball courts for 48 courts in total. That makes its padel room one of the largest in Arizona and the Southwest.

Is this the largest padel facility in the US?

PURE is billed as the world's largest indoor pickleball and padel facility by overall size, at roughly 196,726 square feet. Its 8 padel courts are among the most in any U.S. indoor venue, though several dedicated padel-only clubs run similar court counts — PURE's distinction is the scale of the combined complex.

What is Wolfgang Puck's role at PURE?

Wolfgang Puck Catering signed a 10-year exclusive food-and-beverage agreement for PURE. It will run the main restaurant and bar, a grab-and-go marketplace, arena concessions, a teaching kitchen, a VIP lounge, and a rooftop bar.

How does PURE compare to Padel Alley or Padel AZ?

Padel Alley in Tucson offers eight outdoor courts and Padel AZ runs Tucson's original indoor courts, both community-focused clubs with 5.0 ratings. PURE matches the state's top court count with 8 indoor courts but wraps them in a destination-scale complex with an arena, premium dining, and a recovery center — a very different model from Arizona's existing clubs.

Q: Where is PURE Pickleball & Padel located?

PURE will be at 9120 E Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85250, on the Scottsdale Riverwalk inside the Talking Stick Entertainment District. The 11.44-acre site sits minutes from Old Town Scottsdale and the Loop 101 in metro Phoenix.

PURE Pickleball & Padel: The Numbers

PURE will house 48 courts in total — 40 indoor pickleball courts and 8 indoor padel courts — anchored by a 1,200-seat championship arena built to host professional tournaments and finals. Beyond the courts, plans call for a pro shop, private VIP areas, special-event spaces, a rooftop patio and bar, and on-site childcare.

The eight padel courts alone would make PURE one of the largest dedicated padel rooms in the Southwest, and the only one of its size attached to a venue of this ambition.

A 196,726 sq ft Riverwalk Complex

The facility spans roughly 196,726 square feet across an 11.44-acre site on the Scottsdale Riverwalk, inside the Talking Stick Entertainment District — the same corridor home to Talking Stick Resort and Salt River Fields. That places PURE minutes from Old Town Scottsdale and the Loop 101, in one of the fastest-growing entertainment districts in metro Phoenix.

The location is a deliberate bet that racket sports can anchor a year-round destination rather than just a court rental. With Arizona summers regularly topping 110°F, an all-indoor, climate-controlled model also solves the single biggest problem facing the state's many outdoor padel courts.

Wolfgang Puck + HonorHealth Partners

Two marquee names give PURE its hospitality and wellness backbone. Wolfgang Puck Catering has signed a 10-year exclusive food-and-beverage agreement covering the first-floor restaurant and bar, a grab-and-go marketplace, arena concessions, and a second-floor special-events space, teaching kitchen, VIP lounge, and rooftop bar.

On the wellness side, HonorHealth — one of Arizona's largest health systems — will operate an on-site sports performance and recovery area, putting physical therapy and conditioning steps away from the courts. Together, the partnerships signal that PURE is chasing the resort-and-recovery crowd as much as the competitive player.

How It Compares to Arizona's Padel Clubs

Until now, Arizona's padel scene has been built on smaller, community-driven clubs across the Valley and Tucson. In Tucson, Padel Alley leads with eight outdoor courts and a perfect 5.0 rating, while Padel AZ runs the city's original indoor panoramic courts inside a multi-sport arena. Closer to Scottsdale, Padel Pals Club in Mesa is the East Valley's largest indoor option with seven courts, and Conquer Padel Club in Tempe has become the area's flagship for luxury wellness amenities. Padeland is also bringing a padel-and-brewery concept to downtown Chandler.

At eight indoor courts, PURE matches the state's current high-water mark for court count — but it does so in Scottsdale, inside a complex an order of magnitude larger than anything else in the market.

Timeline & What Comes Next

PURE announced full building-permit approval in April 2026 — the end of a roughly 900-day permitting process that began with filings in September 2025 and ran through hundreds of community hearings and design reviews. With permits secured, Caliber said it is finalizing construction financing and closing its equity round, with a groundbreaking announcement expected to follow. The facility is targeting a 2027 opening.

Membership tiers, court-booking details, and padel programming haven't been announced yet. We'll keep the PURE Pickleball & Padel listing updated so you can check availability the moment courts go live.
