About PATL Louisville
Amazing padel club. Beautiful view with great courts.
— Ben Boesing
PATL (pronounced like "paddle") brought padel to Kentucky with Louisville's first dedicated padel facility at Waterfront Park on the Ohio River. Co-founded by Kentucky native Andrew Herring and Kevin Ye, PATL opened in partnership with Goodbounce Pickleball Yard, introducing this fast-growing sport to the Bluegrass State.
The Courts
PATL Louisville features 3 outdoor WPT (World Padel Tour) certified courts with LED lighting for evening play. The riverside location offers stunning views of the Ohio River, creating one of the most scenic padel settings in the United States. The courts were built on space previously used for bocce ball, repurposing the area for the rapidly growing sport.
The PATL Experience
Love this place. Pickleball, volleyball and Padel! Plus food and drinks!
