Where to Play Padel in Dallas-Fort Worth
Where to Play Padel in Dallas-Fort Worth
Four public clubs, two private ones and four more on the way
Dallas-Fort Worth has four clubs where anyone can book a padel court today: Padel39 North Dallas in Carrollton, Kraken Padel Club in Farmers Branch, North Texas Racquet Club in Frisco and Preston Playhouse in North Dallas. Two private clubs add members-only courts, and four more venues are in build-out. Almost all of it sits in a short stretch of north Dallas suburbs, so a Fort Worth player still has a drive ahead of them.
If you used this guide before, one name is changing. Dallas Padel Club in Carrollton is being renamed: its old web address forwards to the Padel39 page, which says "Dallas Padel Club is becoming Padel39 North Dallas" (read 10 November 2026). Same building on Belmeade Drive, same phone number, more courts.
Carrollton and Farmers Branch
This is the center of DFW padel. Carrollton and Farmers Branch sit next to each other, and the two biggest public clubs are a short drive apart.
Padel39 North Dallas
The old Dallas Padel Club building now runs under the Austin chain Padel39, and it is the largest place to play in the metro. The club page lists "3 indoor & 7 outdoor courts" and says all of them "are ready for play today", with a grand opening set for November 2026. The three indoor courts are lit and climate-controlled, which matters in a Texas August, and the seven outdoor courts include a stadium court.
The clubhouse (bar, restaurant, recovery lounge, steam room, cold plunge and pro shop) was still marked "opening soon" when we read the page. Courts are booked through the Playtomic app, and the club calls itself "Dallas's only Playtomic certified club". New players can sign up for a free intro session with one of its four resident coaches. Hours are 7 am to 11 pm on weekdays and 7 am to 9 pm at weekends.

Kraken Padel Club
Kraken is the all-indoor option. Its about page describes "four stunning indoor panoramic courts, including Texas's first-ever black pro turf court", and every court has PlaySight cameras that record highlight clips from several angles, keep score and produce match stats you can share afterwards. If you have never watched yourself play, one session on the replays will show you where your feet go wrong.
The club was started by a group of friends who took up the game, and it has the feel of a members' hangout: a lounge, workspaces, a gym and a recreation area beside the courts. It rents and sells rackets and balls, so you can turn up with nothing. Hours run from 7:30 am to 11:59 pm every day, which makes it the late-night court in the metro.

Net Racquet Club: call before you go
Net Racquet Club on Spring Valley Road in Farmers Branch is still in our directory, but its website did not load for us on 10 November 2026, and we have not been able to confirm it is still operating. Ring the club before you drive over.
Frisco
North Texas Raquet Club
Frisco's club is a tennis, pickleball and padel center, and its padel page lists "Four outdoor lighted courts". It is the only public padel north of the Carrollton and Farmers Branch cluster, which makes it the closest option for players in Frisco, Plano, McKinney and Prosper.
Programs cover beginner and intermediate clinics on grip, positioning and shot selection, plus ladies-only nights and social formats. You don't need a membership to play: the club says non-members can book padel, pickleball and tennis courts, and members get priority booking up to seven days ahead. The courts are outdoors, so plan around summer heat and the odd thunderstorm.
Courts: 4 | Type: Outdoor | Rating: 4.7★
Dallas
Preston Playhouse
Preston Playhouse is a pickleball hall that also has padel. Its site lists "9 indoor pickleball courts, 2 indoor padel courts and dedicated lounge and bar spaces" on Preston Road in North Dallas. Two courts means it is not where you go for a league, but it works for a first game with friends who already play pickleball, and the bar keeps a group together afterwards.
Hours are 8 am to 10 pm Monday to Thursday and 8 am to 8 pm Friday to Sunday, so check the time if you are planning a weekend evening game.
Courts: 2 | Type: Indoor | Rating: 4.2★
Members-only courts
Two private clubs in the north of the metro have padel for members and their guests.
Banner House at T Bar M on Dilbeck Lane in North Dallas has 3 padel courts next to its tennis and pickleball, a restaurant and a spa. Brookhaven Country Club on Golfing Green Drive in Farmers Branch, an Invited Clubs property, has 2 padel courts alongside a large tennis and pickleball program. Neither one sells court time to the public. If you know a member, ask to come as a guest.
Opening next
Four more DFW venues are in our directory as pre-opening, and none of them has a firm date.
- Padel Square, 14303 Inwood Rd, Farmers Branch: its booking site was still titled "Padel Square (Coming Soon)" on 10 November 2026, with memberships listed from $80 (youth) and $100 (standard) to $235 (family). We cover the plan in Padel Square Dallas: 7 Indoor Courts in Farmers Branch.
- Padel Haus Dallas, 1500 Dragon St in the Design District: the New York chain's Dallas page is still a placeholder, and Dallas is missing from its list of locations.
- Ace Padel Dallas, 2701 Reagan St in Oak Lawn: Ace's own site lists Miami, Denver and Los Angeles but not Dallas yet.
- Studio Arenna North Richland Hills, 6440 Davis Blvd: the first padel planned for the Fort Worth side. Studio Arenna's site shows "Arenna Fort Worth" and "Arenna Dallas" as coming soon, with no details.

Indoor or outdoor
North Texas summers decide a lot of padel plans. Of the four public clubs, Kraken and Preston Playhouse are fully indoor, North Texas Raquet Club is fully outdoor, and Padel39 has both. That gives the metro nine public indoor courts: 3 at Padel39, 4 at Kraken and 2 at Preston Playhouse. Book those early for July and August evenings, when the outdoor courts are hot well after sunset.
Winter flips it. On a mild January afternoon the outdoor courts in Carrollton and Frisco are the better game, and Frisco's are lit for evening play. Rain is the other thing to plan for: an outdoor booking in spring storm season is a coin flip, and only Padel39 lets you move inside without changing clubs.
Which club for which player
First-timers should start with the free intro at Padel39 or a beginner clinic in Frisco. Players who want to study their game on video belong at Kraken, where every court records. Groups of pickleball friends trying padel for an afternoon will be happiest at Preston Playhouse, where both sports share one building and one bar. Players living north of the tollway save the most driving at North Texas Raquet Club.
Getting a game
Padel39 books its courts in 90-minute slots, which is enough for a full match. If you are new, the free intro at Padel39 and the beginner clinics in Frisco are the cheapest way to learn. If you already play, Padel39's Playtomic open matches and Kraken's late hours are the easiest ways to find a fourth. Kraken also rents rackets and balls, so a visitor flying in for the weekend can play without packing a bag.
