Padel is a fun, fast-paced racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It’s played in doubles on an enclosed court with solid walls, using a perforated paddle and a low-compression tennis ball.

Courts can be booked online, through the RSC Mobile App or by calling the front desk at (613) 749-6126.

You can bring your own paddle and balls, or rent them from our front desk (padel rental is included in the cost of the court rental). Proper athletic attire and non-marking shoes are required.

Absolutely! Padel is easy to learn and great for all skill levels.
