About Viva Padel & Pickleball Club

Born from a former elevated parking lot near Temple University, Viva transforms 90,000 square feet of urban space into Philadelphia's premier outdoor padel and pickleball destination. Founded by Mehdi Rhazali—a Drexel alum who has led the university's tennis program since 2012—Viva brings accessible, high-energy racquet sports to the city.

The Courts

Viva features 4 outdoor padel courts alongside 4 pickleball courts. The elevated setting provides stunning views of the Philadelphia skyline as you play—a unique destination experience unlike any other facility in the region.

The Airstream Pro Shop

In true Viva style, the pro shop operates out of a revamped 1968 Airstream Overlander 28, offering high-quality padel and pickleball gear and apparel with serious vintage flair.

Accessible Membership

Memberships range from $50 to $400 annually with discounts for students, children under 18, first responders, nurses, teachers, and coaches. Family rates are available. Non-members can book courts, clinics, and events through the app.

Growing Network

Viva is expanding with an indoor facility in Flourtown—a 30,000 square-foot space featuring 5 padel courts, 3 pickleball courts, lounges, locker rooms, and social areas.
