Under one roof at The Shed on Clarence Street South in Addington, Christchurch, picklepadel is an indoor centre for pickleball and padel. It has eight pickleball courts with indoor surfaces, and three glass-walled padel courts, which the website says are the first indoor padel courts in Canterbury. There is also a licensed bar, food and a lounge. The website says players of all levels are welcome, from ages 5 to 95, and that all gear can be hired. Beginners can learn in a session, and the website describes the courts as central, with access on foot, by bike, by scooter or by car. Bookings are made through the booking app, and the website says the centre was due to open in July 2026.
The website describes the centre as a meeting place as much as a sports venue, with the owners aiming for a relaxed atmosphere where people can learn, play socially or compete. Its three owners are named on the site, with backgrounds in adventure tourism and event management, finance, and hospitality. No customer reviews are shown on the website text, so the description rests on what the centre says about itself.
