New North Park venue brings 25 courts to South Florida

Racquet sports enthusiasts in South Florida are preparing to welcome a major new athletic hub this fall. Boca Paddle, an expansive 100,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor venue, is scheduled to open its doors in mid-November, according to the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Parks District.

Situated within the district-owned North Park in the Boca Teeca area of Boca Raton, the project broke ground in June 2025. The modern complex is built to cater to the surging local appetite for both pickleball and padel, offering a total of 25 dedicated playing areas in a climate-controlled setting alongside covered outdoor spaces designed to handle diverse weather conditions.

Court distribution and playing environments

The sports complex balances dedicated spaces across both disciplines, offering both indoor protection from the elements and covered open-air play.

Pickleball 14 5 19
Padel 2 4 6
Total 16 9 25

Recreational amenities and hospitality

Beyond competitive and casual play, the complex has been planned as a comprehensive social and wellness hub. Boca Paddle will feature amenities including full locker rooms, saunas, cold plunge pools, private event spaces, dedicated viewing sections, and an onsite pro shop.

Visitors will also have access to hospitality options directly at the venue. An onsite full-service restaurant and bar is set to operate in partnership with Farmer’s Table, providing a gathering space for players and visitors. Memberships for the new facility are available through its official website ahead of the mid-November launch.
