Boston’s First Outdoor Padel Courts Mark New Hub for Racquet Sports, Food, and Community
BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Boston’s Seaport neighborhood is about to get a major new destination for sport, social connection, and outdoor play. Ballers Seaport today announced its official spring opening, introducing a first-of-its-kind racquet sports and lifestyle venue designed to bring together athletes, families, and the broader Boston community around a shared love of sports.
Spanning 30,000 square feet of outdoor space open seven days a week, Ballers Seaport is designed for play, socializing, and active recreation and will feature:
• Three outdoor padel courts—the first in the city—bringing one of the fastest-growing sports in the world to Boston’s hottest neighborhood
• Five premium pickleball courts
• Multiple areas designed for private events and gatherings
• A chef-driven food truck featuring local specialties and curated dining experiences
• Community events and programming, including fitness classes, pickleball and padel clinics, social leagues, and celebrity athlete meet-and-greets
Designed as both an athletic destination and a social hub, Ballers Seaport reflects the explosive growth of racquet sports worldwide, while creating a uniquely Boston environment for play and connection.
Ballers is backed by an impressive roster of celebrity and professional athlete investors, including tennis icons Andre Agassi, Kim Clijsters, and Sloane Stephens, as well as Connor Garnett, the World No. 3 singles pickleball player. Together, they are helping to bring global attention to the rapidly expanding racquet sports movement.
The concept was founded by hospitality entrepreneurs and former Equinox veterans David Gutstadt, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Amanda Potter, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, who are combining their expertise in luxury hospitality, wellness, and community-building to create a new kind of sports venue designed for modern urban life.
“Ballers is about more than just playing–it’s about creating a place where sport, wellness, culture, and community come together,” said Gutstadt. “Boston is an incredibly vibrant sports city, and Seaport is the perfect place to introduce a destination built around the shared love of racquet sports.”
With its open-air design, vibrant programming, and welcoming atmosphere, Ballers Seaport is poised to become one of the city’s most exciting new gathering places this spring.
“Ballers brings exactly the kind of active, social energy that fits this neighborhood, and we are thrilled to see them grow into their full vision this spring. Pickleball and padel are a natural fit for Seaport, and we can’t wait to welcome the community back.” – Ariel Foxman, Area VP, Brand & Experience of Boston Seaport, WS Development
Ballers is open to all, but committed padel and pickle enthusiasts can choose to join as members. There are two membership tiers designed to enhance the guest experience, including court booking discounts, advance reservations, guest passes, reciprocal access to a global network of clubs, and programming perks. For those not ready to commit long term, Ballers offers month-to-month memberships, while frequent players can opt for the Season Pass, which runs from spring through fall. Those who become Season Pass members before May 1 will receive two months free, and all members who join before May 1 receive a $1 initiation fee. Memberships are available now through the website. Membership is not required, and pay-to-play options are available.
As Boston continues to embrace racquet sports at a rapid pace, Ballers Seaport is positioned to become a vibrant new gathering place in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
Ballers invites the Boston community to come play, connect, and experience the energy of racquet sports together.
