PADELphia

PADELphia is inside AFC Fitness at 601 Righters Ferry Road in Bala Cynwyd, just outside Philadelphia on the Main Line. The courts are open to the public, with open sessions on some weeknights, while the surrounding gym is a separate membership facility. The directory lists three indoor courts, a pro shop and a social lounge. One older review mentions only two courts, so the count may have grown; we use the three from the directory. Google rates PADELphia 4.5 from 22 ratings. Reviewers like the high ceilings that allow lobs and the room to run behind the back walls, and call the facility clean. The most serious complaint describes a group that paid $200 for a court after being told rackets could be rented, then was told on arrival there were no rackets available; anyone planning a visit should bring their own or confirm in advance. Another reviewer mentions that morning sun can be in the players' eyes. Google lists the AFC Fitness building hours as 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM Monday through Friday and 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekends; padel court times may differ. Booking is through padelphia.com.
