Phase 1 highlights
Phase 1, launching on September 2, gives members and guests immediate access to:
The rise of padel
Padel, often described as a hybrid of tennis and squash, has seen its global player base skyrocket to over 30 million, with a new court being built every 2.5 hours worldwide. In the U.S. alone, more than 350 new padel courts are being built in 2024 — a 22% increase from 2023. Epic Padel is not merely observing this momentum; it is actively leading it through investments in the Hexagon Cup, the New York Atlantics in the Pro Padel League, and a strategic partnership with Adidas.
Beyond padel
Epic Padel Charlotte is designed to be a comprehensive racquet sports destination. Six pickleball courts address the explosive growth of this accessible sport, while ten tennis courts provide a familiar, high-quality environment for players to hone their skills. The variety of courts ensures that every player — from padel newcomers to seasoned tennis veterans — finds their preferred game.
Holistic wellness
Two swimming pools offer a refreshing complement to intense court sessions, supporting relaxation and recovery. The state-of-the-art gym is equipped with cutting-edge fitness technology to enhance physical conditioning and optimize on-court performance. The welcome center and pro shop — stocked with the latest equipment, apparel, and accessories — round out a truly integrated wellness experience.
Community first
Epic Padel Charlotte is envisioned as a vibrant social hub where individuals connect, compete, and grow together. Regular events, leagues, and tournaments will foster a dynamic community.
