How Park Padel Built a Lifestyle Club in the Bay Area with Katie Lampert

How Park Padel Built a Lifestyle Club in the Bay Area with Katie Lampert

In this episode of Padel Smash Academy, we’re in San Francisco for a full club review at Park Padel, one of Northern California’s most iconic padel clubs. We sit down with Katie Lampert—co-founder, co-owner, and the ultimate “do-everything” operator—to break down how Park Padel was built and why it’s become a true padel lifestyle destination.

Katie shares the vision behind their indoor facility: a place where you can spend the entire day—play padel, take a work call in a pod, hit a quick workout, recover with Hyperice and NormaTec, then grab a coffee… or a beer. The goal was simple: even indoors, make it feel alive and green—like a park.

We also get super tactical on what makes the business work:

  • How their first location at Embarcadero / Market Street created “built-in marketing” with constant foot traffic
  • Why their second indoor location required old-school outreach + corporate offsites
  • The big unlock: shifting memberships from per-location to access across locations
  • Their programming flywheel: Intro to Padel, clinics, socials, Americanos, leagues, tournaments
  • The tech stack: moving from PlayByPoint to Playtomic, and why rating + open matches matter
  • Their facility details: 6 courts, locker rooms & showers, lounge space, gym, work pods, and more
  • The camera system: Clutch—livestreaming, match review, and coaching with video

Park Padel has grown to three locations across the Bay Area region and has real expansion momentum—while staying focused on the one thing that matters most: community.
