Santa Monica Pickleball & Padel

Santa Monica Pickleball & Padel is an outdoor racquet venue at 1318-1330 4th Street in downtown Santa Monica. The directory at padelcourtsfinder.com describes a 7-court facility with 4 pickleball courts and 3 padel courts, which it says are the city's first public padel courts. The venue also has a retail shop selling paddles and rackets, including Joola gear. Google shows 4.9 from only 7 ratings, so the sample is small. Reviewers say the courts are new and clean, play well with few bad bounces, and are open for play day or night under lights. The staff members get repeated praise, one for helpful phone support on a racket purchase and others for keeping the courts in good condition. There is a shaded area to rest, restrooms and water are available, and you can demo paddles and be provided balls. Parking is in the city structure on 4th Street, which a reviewer says is free for an hour and a half. There were no real complaints in the reviews we saw. Google lists 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily. Booking and the shop are on santamonicapickleballcenter.com. No published prices were found.
