Padel Up - Century City

Padel Up - Century City is a rooftop padel club at 10250 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90067, USA. Its two outdoor courts sit on The Skydeck, Level 3 of Westfield Century City, between Nordstrom and AMC, and the club is open from 8am to 10pm every day.

Court hire is $120 per court per hour at peak and $100 per court per hour off-peak, booked online through Playbypoint. The club runs a pay-and-play model, so anyone can come and play without a membership.

Padel Up - Century City is one of the more unusual places to play padel in Los Angeles: a pair of open-air courts above a shopping centre, with a lounge beside them and restaurants a short walk away inside the mall. For more options nearby, see our guide to padel courts in Los Angeles.

The padel courts

Padel Up - Century City has two outdoor padel courts on the Westfield Century City rooftop. Both are open to the sky, so a session here is played in the open air rather than under a roof, which suits players who prefer outdoor padel.

Beside the courts is a rooftop lounge where players can cool down after a match and hang out with other players before the next game. It makes the club an easy place to linger between sessions rather than leaving as soon as the hour ends.

Racquets are available for rent at $10 per hour, and racquet rental is included with clinics and is complimentary for members, so a first visit needs little more than court shoes and sportswear.

The on-site pro shop stocks apparel, racquets, balls, grip tape and shoes. That helps if a grip wears through or you decide to buy your own racquet after a few sessions on hired kit.

Booking and access

Courts at Padel Up - Century City are booked online through Playbypoint on the Padel Up booking page. Because the club is pay and play, there is no need to join before reserving a court.

There are two price tiers, both offered Monday to Sunday. Peak: $120 per court per hour for 60 minutes. Off-peak: $100 per court per hour for 60 minutes. With four players, a peak hour works out at $30 each.

Opening hours are 8am to 10pm every day, Monday to Sunday, which leaves room for early sessions before work and evening games after it.

To find the courts, go to Level 2 of Westfield Century City and look for the entrance in the corner between Nordstrom and AMC. It leads up to The Skydeck, Level 3, where the courts sit on the rooftop.

Secure parking is in the Westfield Century City mall parking structures, and the first hour is free. Gelson’s offers validation with a $10 purchase, and the closest level to the club entrance is Level 2 of the AMC cinema.

Programme and social

Coaching at Padel Up - Century City comes from Padel Up’s professional certified coaches, with lessons, 1:1 sessions and clinics. Saturday-noon rating evaluations (NPRP) help players find their level, which makes it easier to join games against players of a similar standard.

Social play is a big part of the club, and Padel Up describes Century City as a setting made for social play. Group open plays, Americano and champion-of-the-court sessions mix players together, so you can turn up without a full four and still get a game.

Junior programmes are run by Padel Up’s professional certified coaches, giving younger players a structured way into the sport alongside the adult lessons and clinics.

The club also hosts corporate events, brand activations, birthdays and charity tournaments. Events can combine coaching, music, equipment and catering from restaurants inside Westfield Century City, such as Eataly, Katsuya and Casa Dani.

Padel Up also runs Padel Up Culver City, a sister club for players who want another option within the same group.

Best for

Padel Up - Century City is best for players who want outdoor padel in a central spot, with shopping, food and parking all in the same complex. The rooftop setting makes it a good choice for a social game or a group booking.

Beginners are well served: anyone can book under the pay-and-play model, racquets can be rented, and coaching, clinics and open plays give new players a clear route in. Our beginner’s guide to padel covers the rules and basics before a first session.
