North Park facility adds 25 courts in South Florida
A large new destination for racquet sports is set to arrive in South Florida this fall. According to the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Parks District, Boca Paddle—a 100,000-square-foot venue with indoor and outdoor facilities—is due to open in mid-November.
Construction began in June 2025 at North Park, a district-owned site in Boca Raton’s Boca Teeca area. Created in response to growing local demand for pickleball and padel, the modern venue will provide 25 dedicated playing areas, with climate-controlled indoor courts and covered outdoor spaces suited to varying weather conditions.
Breakdown of courts and playing settings
Indoor courts shielded from the weather and covered open-air areas will provide dedicated playing space for both sports.
| Sport | Indoor courts | Outdoor covered courts | Total courts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pickleball | 14 | 5 | 19 |
| Padel | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Total | 16 | 9 | 25 |
Hospitality and leisure facilities
Boca Paddle is intended to serve as more than a venue for recreational and competitive matches, with social and wellness facilities incorporated into the complex. Plans include full locker rooms, saunas, cold plunge pools, private event areas, designated viewing sections and an onsite pro shop.
Hospitality will also be available within the complex through a full-service restaurant and bar operated in partnership with Farmer’s Table, offering players and other visitors a place to gather. Before the scheduled mid-November opening, memberships can be purchased through the facility’s official website.
