2 days ago, the city of Paris validated the project presented by UCPA for the construction of a padel in the 15th arrondissement of Paris in Castagnary.
The cost of the project will exceed 800.000 € investment. The city of Paris presented what was going to be built by 2017.

Recall that this club padel should not last in time since the agreement will cease after “5 years maximum”.
This club padel will be oriented more towards padel leisure or discovery since the heights necessary to play padel will unfortunately not be there.
There should be 2 singles courts and 4 classic courts (doubles)
The fields should normally be protected from the rain.
UCPA + PARIS + PADEL => The cocktail seems explosive to offer this sport great visibility.
A nice project, but one that raises a number of questions:
1 / Have we ever seen a padel like this one ?
2 / can we be delighted with a club padel with such a low height? Doesn't that distort this game?
3 / Even if it is an association, even if it ultimately only concerns the UCPA, and we can only be delighted to see such a project succeed, invest € 810.000 to see this equipment disappear after 5 years, it's a little frustrating and too bad. UCPA Philantrope? Probably not, but Parisians say thank you.

Where can we have more information on 'The padel in intramural Paris? Who to contact a phone or email?
Thank you in advance
It is a very good initiative, not perfect, but it has the merit of making people discover this sport in the heart of Paris.
Hoping that other more sustainable projects with more height will be inspired.
It would be great, but what good are the singles courts for? padel only played in doubles. And, given the uncertain weather in Paris, there should be indoor courts.
