NorthPoint Padel introduces fast-growing global sport to the region
Submitted by City of Westfield
Westfield is now home to Indiana’s first padel facility with the opening of NorthPoint Padel, a new, fully automated indoor sports venue located at 20099 N. East St., Suite 100. The facility introduces padel, one of the world’s fastest-growing racquet sports, to Indiana for the first time.
NorthPoint Padel features two premium indoor courts manufactured by Padel Alba in Spain, offering panoramic glass walls and professional-grade artificial turf. The facility is designed for accessibility and convenience, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week through a fully digital experience. Court reservations, payments, lighting, and secure door access are all managed through the Playtomic mobile app, with no on-site point-of-sale system.
“Padel is exploding globally because it is social, accessible, and easy to enjoy from day one,” said Jon Omer, Managing Partner of NorthPoint Padel. “Our goal is to make it simple for people in Westfield and across central Indiana to experience the sport, whether they are brand new or already competitive.”
Private court reservations are available in 30-minute increments and require four players to confirm a booking. Peak rates are $25 per hour per person during weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, with non-peak rates at $20 per hour per person. For a limited time, rackets and balls will be complimentary. Players must be at least 18 years old to play without an adult present.
In addition to private play, NorthPoint Padel will offer group clinics, open-play sessions, and instructional opportunities throughout the week. Complimentary introductory clinics will be available several times weekly for beginners, while more advanced “drill and play” and “play with a coach” sessions will be offered for $40 per participant. Private lessons are also available, with complimentary racket rental included for all clinics and lessons.
Padel, a doubles-focused racquet sport played on enclosed courts, originated in Mexico in 1969 and gained global popularity through rapid growth in Argentina and Spain, where it is now the second-most-played sport behind soccer. Worldwide, more than 3,000 new padel clubs opened in 2024 alone, bringing the global total to more than 50,000 courts, with projections exceeding 80,000 courts by 2027. In the United States, the sport is entering a breakout phase as participation continues to grow, while court availability remains limited compared to mature international markets.
“Westfield is focused on expanding high-quality recreational options for our community,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “We are excited to welcome Indiana’s first padel facility; NorthPoint Padel reflects our commitment to innovative amenities that enhance quality of life and reinforce Westfield’s position as a destination for active lifestyles.”
To celebrate its opening, NorthPoint Padel will host a ribbon cutting with the Westfield Chamber of Commerce at 3 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22. Additionally, a public open house is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24. The public is invited to stop by, watch live play, step onto the court, and try a few swings. Light food and drinks will be served.
