Calgary Padel Club has taken over the old rink outside of The Patterson Recreational Facility (formerly the Alberta Badminton Centre). They will be repurposing the rink to make enclosed Padel Courts. They have spent years teaching communities how to play Padel and have also put on programming for children and seniors. Their goal is to rebuild and open by next summer. Drop in and membership options will be available. We will have special CHPH memberships available. More details will come out next year.
