Padel Plant

Padel Plant is a padel and pickleball club at 1201 Haxall Point in downtown Richmond, set in a rehabilitated 19th-century hydroelectric plant. Beyond the courts it has a pizza restaurant and bar, a cafe, a pro shop and several lounge areas where people watch the games. Court bookings are open to the public, and the club also sells memberships and runs social events. There are five padel courts with a turf surface, three indoor and two outdoor according to a reviewer, plus two pickleball courts. We could not confirm whether the two outdoor courts are covered. The club offers clinics and lessons, and the pro shop stocks rackets and clothing. One reviewer notes court bookings are priced well and that discounts are offered. Google shows 4.4 from 69 reviews, which is lower than most clubs in this batch. The comments we saw are friendly: reviewers like the staff, the atmosphere, the social events and the matcha lattes at the cafe. One first-time visitor says they were confused when they arrived, though the team was understanding, so it can help to read the arrival instructions in advance. Google lists hours of 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Published court prices were not verified.
