BAY PADEL Treasure Island

BAY PADEL Treasure Island is the flagship Bay Padel facility at 29 Avenue G, San Francisco, CA 94130. It sits inside a converted Navy airplane hangar on man-made Treasure Island, a short drive from downtown via the Bay Bridge (I-80) with free on-site parking.

The club opened in September 2023 as the first dedicated padel facility in Northern California, founded by Argentinian transplants Lukas Tepman and Matias Gandulfo. Players get sweeping skyline and Bay Bridge views through the building’s enormous open frame.

The hangar previously served as a sound stage for The Matrix and other films. Its near 80-foot ceiling is the venue’s signature feature, billed as the highest of any indoor padel hall in the world. Tours and info are available via the Bay Padel Treasure Island website.

The padel courts

The Treasure Island site has six padel courts on a synthetic turf surface, alongside seven dedicated pickleball courts. Most courts sit indoors under the hangar roof with the towering ceiling clearance that has become the venue’s calling card.

A smaller number of courts are positioned at the open end of the hangar with panoramic skyline backdrops, giving an outdoor feel while keeping play protected from coastal wind. Floodlighting covers every court for evening sessions.

The playing area is laid out for full doubles play with regulation glass walls and metal mesh. Demo rackets are available from the on-site gear boutique for players who want to try equipment before booking lessons or buying their own kit.

The pickleball half of the campus shares the same building and shares amenities, so players who cross between the two sports can train on one site. Ball, racket and grip stock is kept on hand at the boutique counter.

Booking and access

Court bookings run through the venue’s own platform on Play by Point, which is also surfaced through Playtomic for international players. Live court rates show at the booking step and typically sit in the $30 to $60 per player range.

Sessions are bookable in 60 and 90 minute blocks. Monthly memberships are tiered from roughly $70 to $350 and include discounted court rates plus access to open play sessions and clinics.

Opening hours run Monday to Friday 9:30am to 10:30pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:00am to 8:00pm. Cancellation policies and exact peak surcharges are confirmed at the booking step. Reach the venue on (415) 725-8871 or info@baypadel.us.

Programme and social

The Treasure Island club runs an active calendar of open play sessions, mix-ins, social leagues and beginner orientations, plus junior clinics and a regular drop-in format that is the easiest entry point for visitors.

Tech-sector members make heavy use of the venue. Companies including Google, OpenAI and Gusto have rented it for team offsites, and Y Combinator runs weekly founder events at the Bay Padel Dogpatch sister venue.

Coaching at the club is led by professional instructors, including former tour player Marcel Felder. Private lessons, small group sessions and junior clinics are offered. See the coaching tab on this listing for tier pricing and booking details.

The venue is part of a small Bay Area network: sister sites at Bay Padel Dogpatch in San Francisco and Bay Padel Sunnyvale share the same brand. Off court, members can use the lounge, snack bar, gear boutique and showers.

Best for padel in San Francisco

BAY PADEL Treasure Island suits Bay Area players who want a flagship indoor padel experience with serious ceiling clearance, free parking and easy freeway access from San Francisco, Oakland and the Peninsula.

It is a strong fit for tech-sector founders and engineers who use the coworking and offsite hosting, plus juniors and pickleball crossovers looking for a multi-sport campus. Visiting players from outside the Bay Area can use it as a base while staying in downtown San Francisco or the East Bay.

It is less suited to players seeking a low-cost municipal court or a fully outdoor sun-drenched setup. For those, options exist elsewhere in the city, but no other site in San Francisco offers this scale of indoor padel with parking and amenities under one roof.

Bay Padel runs an in-house coaching programme at Treasure Island with private lessons, small group sessions and junior clinics led by professional instructors including former tour player Marcel Felder.
