Pade Social Re-Opening Late Spring.
We are thrilled to announce that Padel Social is reopening as planned in late spring 2026 at our permenet home 5455 Westbard Avenue in Bethesda – just steps from our original location!
We are deeply grateful to our ever-growing community for your energy, patience, and support. You are the heart of this club.
The new space has been designed to feel familiar, but with lots of fun enhancements. We are bringing back the spirit of the original Padel Social and launching with:
- 3 lighted, state-of-the-art outdoor padel courts
- Clubhouse with fully stocked pro shop
- New food and beverage options
- Social space to enjoy before and after play
Our team is moving full seed ahead to open as soon as possible, and we are exited to welcome everyone back on the courts with a few months.
More detailed updates coming soon!
