The King Of Padel - San Diego

The King of Padel – A Hidden Gem for Padel & Pickleball in Rose Canyon Tucked away in Rose Canyon, The King of Padel is a great spot for both padel and pickleball enthusiasts. Finding the entrance can be tricky—follow the signs carefully: after entering the gate, head up the hill and look for a small door. Once inside, you’ll find a front desk, a small retail store, and multiple courts. Facilities & Experience Multiple courts are available for both padel and pickleball. Walk-in availability on weekday mornings means plenty of space to enjoy a game. Instructional classes are ongoing, catering to players looking to improve their skills. The venue is open from 7 AM to midnight, seven days a week, making it easy to schedule a game outside of peak hours. Weekday evenings are likely much busier, as more players come after work. Room for Improvement Staffing can be an issue, especially on Monday mornings, when the front desk was unattended. The hidden entrance can be confusing for first-time visitors. Final Thoughts If you're looking for a well-maintained space to play padel or pickleball, The King of Padel is worth checking out. Early mornings are a great time to enjoy quiet courts, but expect higher traffic in the evenings. A fantastic spot for sports lovers looking to stay active!

Due to the rain, I decided to try playing pickleball here during a weekday (Open Play is $9). The games were relatively good. However, the wait to play is kinda too long (12-16 waiting paddles on each court). There were only 4 available courts, as supposed to 6 indicated on their website.

We hosted a birthday party at the King of Padel. It was a great hit with Adults and Kids. We blocked a combination of Paddle Ball/Pickleball courts and although most of them were fairly new , they had fun. Almost everyone had a chance to participate and it was a nice break from the traditional party themes. Armando set us up nicely and our Party host Nick was very courteous and generous and helped us have a smooth one. A few tables, a small sit out place for folks to hang out and have food as well complimented the whole party set up. Overall, a great theme for a birthday party definitely!!

Great indoor spot to play padel indoors!!! Good lighting, good ventilation. Owners/managers are super nice. Also have some ping pong and pickleball courts too. Not to mention there’s plenty of seating and relaxing spaces if you want to bring the kids or friends along to hang out. Definitely give it a go.
