In addition to the Rue Castagnary project as well as that of the 13th arrondissement, another site is currently being studied to offer Paris more padel : the Charles Rigoulot Stadium located near the ring road in the 15th arrondissement.

The town hall is currently thinking about installing several tracks to replace a bowling green and a tennis court. As always, the city faces a problem of space, but the location of the Rigoulot space eliminates the recurring problem of noise pollution.

As a reminder, the UCPA already offers 2 plots in the 19th. However, the city of Paris and the UCPA, which bet on 6 tracks in Castagnary square for a budget of 1,6 million euros, have so far not been able to do so. And the French Tennis Federation is also working on setting up 2 tennis courts. padel.

The Rigoulot space could offer a more appropriate alternative solution for a club project padel Intramural. Nothing has been decided yet, but what is certain is the determination displayed by the municipal actors to see the padel appear in the 15th arrondissement.
