Pura Padel has officially made its mark on the Los Angeles sports scene by launching its first-ever location in the city with pop-up padel courts at the Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks. This strategic move introduces Angelenos to one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, offering them a chance to experience padel in a unique rooftop setting.
“Padel is more than just a sport; it’s a lifestyle that perfectly aligns with the diverse, health-conscious, community-driven, and sports-passionate culture of Los Angeles,”
The exclusive pop-up features three cutting-edge padel courts, showcasing Pura Padel’s commitment to making the sport accessible to both seasoned players and newcomers alike. The choice of Los Angeles, with its vibrant culture centered on healthy living and outdoor activities, was a natural fit for Pura Padel’s debut. “Padel is more than just a sport; it’s a lifestyle that perfectly aligns with the diverse, health-conscious, community-driven, and sports-passionate culture of Los Angeles,” said Alessandro Bennett, co-founder and CEO of Pura Padel. “I have grown up loving racket sports my entire life and we are excited to introduce and share this incredible racket sport with LA. We look forward to building a vibrant community around this exciting sport.”
Beyond the courts, the venue offers a comprehensive experience with a workout and recovery area, featuring rowing machines, weights, and a cold plunge. Players can also relax in a lounge area stocked with snacks and beverages, making it an ideal place to unwind after a game. Pura Padel aims to foster a strong community around padel, with the facility hosting various clinics and partner events designed to engage and grow the local padel community.
Head Coach Emanuel Enrique, a former top 100 professional player, will lead private coaching sessions, ensuring players receive expert guidance. The courts are available for public bookings, catering to everyone from beginners to seasoned athletes.
This launch is a significant milestone for Pura Padel as it continues to expand its footprint. Looking ahead, the company plans to open its first permanent location in Doral, Florida, by spring 2025. For more information and booking details, please visit purapadel.com.
