Where to play padel in Brisbane

In short: Brisbane's padel scene is still small but growing. We verified three operating venues in greater Brisbane: Padel Brisbane at The Gap, Padel Logan at Meadowbrook and Gizmo Courts at Underwood. A second Padel Brisbane site near the airport is listed as coming soon. Padel Brisbane and Padel Logan book through MATCHi rather than Playtomic, and both publish beginner-friendly options.

Padel is a doubles racket sport played on an enclosed 20 x 10 metre court, roughly a quarter smaller than a doubles tennis court. The glass walls stay in play, so rallies are longer and the game is easy to pick up, even if you've never played a racket sport. Compared with Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane has far fewer courts, so it pays to know where to go and to book ahead. Here's what we found.

Last checked: November 2026. We only list venues whose own website or live booking page showed them operating. Prices and hours change, so check with the club before you play.

Coming soon

Padel Brisbane's second site at Landers Pocket (Brisbane Airport) is listed on MATCHi as "Coming Soon", with four outdoor courts. We'll add it once it's taking bookings. If you're happy to drive south, the Gold Coast has three operating venues, including a six-court club at Carrara.

How to book a court in Brisbane

Unlike most Australian cities, where Playtomic dominates, Brisbane's two dedicated padel clubs use MATCHi:

• Padel Brisbane: book courts, socials and coaching on MATCHi via padelbrisbane.co.
• Padel Logan: book on MATCHi or call the club.
• Gizmo Courts: book through the online booking link on its website.

Create your MATCHi account before you head out. Evening slots are popular, and with only a handful of courts in the city, it's worth booking a few days ahead.

Tips for beginners

• Join an intro social. Padel Brisbane lists an Intro to Padel social on MATCHi for $5, a low-cost way to try the sport. It also runs adult coaching clinics and junior sessions.
• Play off-peak. Padel Logan's off-peak rate (6 am to 4 pm) is a third cheaper than its peak rate, which suits a first hit with friends.
• Beat the heat. All the operating courts we could confirm the type of are outdoor. Early mornings and evenings under lights are the most comfortable times to play in summer.
• What to bring: court or tennis shoes with good grip, a hat, sunscreen, water and your own racket if you have one.
• Learn the basics. Read our simple guide to the padel rules and our guide on how to start playing padel before your first game.

Gear up before you play

Hire rackets are fine for your first few sessions. When you start playing regularly, your own racket gives you a familiar feel every time you step on court.

• Beginner padel rackets: control-focused rackets with a forgiving sweet spot.
• All padel rackets: our complete range.
• Padel balls: stock up so every booking starts with fresh balls.
• Racket Finder: a quick quiz that narrows down the right racket for you.
• Racket Reviews: in-depth reviews by Sven Boele.

We ship Australia-wide. Orders placed before 4 pm Sydney time ship the same day, and standard shipping (2–5 business days) is free from $200. Express takes 1–3 business days. For advice, contact Hans on +61 466 383 404 or on WhatsApp.
