Pacific Padel Albany is a padel club with four courts at Albany Tennis Park, 325 Oteha Valley Road, on Auckland's North Shore. Padel is played in doubles on a walled court, and the club describes it as fast, social and easy to pick up. The courts are Padel Galis courts, and the club also has experienced coaches and a pro shop for equipment.
The club runs events from social games to advanced play, so players of different levels can take part. Pacific Padel has three other Auckland clubs, at Takapuna, where there are three courts and a small shop, and at Merton Road in St Johns, where there are four courts. It also has a club at Wilding Park in Christchurch.
People who play there say they were hooked from their first session, that the community is welcoming and that padel is a good social workout. The club describes padel as a way to meet new people and make friends, whatever your background.
