About Mink Padel
Mink Padel is a two-court outdoor padel venue at 439 W 127th Street, New York, NY 10027, on the corner of Amsterdam and Convent Avenues in West Harlem.
Founded in 2024 by Evan Brown in partnership with Janus Property, Mink was set up to make padel genuinely accessible in Manhattan - public-access bookings through PlayByPoint, no membership required, and free on-site parking.
The courts
Two outdoor courts with panoramic glass walls set inside a historic 19th-century courtyard. The artificial turf surface follows standard padel specification with pro-grade LED floodlighting for evening play through the booking window.
The courtyard backdrop - 200-year-old buildings around the playing area - is unlike anything else in the New York padel market. Outdoor play means weather can affect sessions, but the build is robust and rain cancellations are handled via PlayByPoint.
Booking and access
Court hire is bookable through PlayByPoint at mink.playbypoint.com - this is the venue’s booking platform. Players have a 10-day advance booking window. No Playtomic at this site.
Pay-and-play access is the default - no membership needed. Three optional membership tiers reduce per-court costs: Full at $550/month (100% court fee waiver), Basic at $140/month (50% off), Student at $90/month (50% off). Standard non-member rates run roughly $25 to $60 per court depending on slot.
The venue is open Monday to Friday 07:00 to 22:00 and weekends 08:00 to 21:00. Free on-site parking is rare for Manhattan padel and a real differentiator. Direct enquiries via +1 828-888-0242.
Programme and social
In-house coaching covers lessons and skill development across all levels. Open-play sessions, seasonal leagues and community mix-in events run through the calendar - check the PlayByPoint calendar for current dates.
The Janus Property courtyard houses on-site food and beverage operators, so the venue functions as a community gathering space rather than a pure court-hire site. Locker rooms with showers and changing areas serve casual players and regulars equally.
The pro shop on-site stocks rackets and balls plus equipment rental for newcomers turning up without kit. The pay-and-play model and absence of a membership barrier make Mink particularly newcomer-friendly for the Manhattan market.
Best for
Manhattan players who want public-access padel without the Reserve or Padel Haus membership commitment, in a distinctive historic outdoor setting. Free parking and pay-and-play access make it the most newcomer-friendly Manhattan venue.
Less suited to anyone wanting indoor year-round play - all courts are outdoor, so winter rain or snow can affect sessions. The membership tiers are great value for regulars but the model still rewards casual drop-ins.
