Recently opened in the Toulouse area, which already boasts a high concentration of padel infrastructure, the  Top Padel  offers a different approach. Located in  Plaisance-du-Touch Located west of Toulouse, the complex was designed from the outset as a living space as much as a sports center, focusing on...  high-end facilities  and a strong community dimension. In just a few years, it has established itself as one of the major new players in padel in the Toulouse metropolitan area.

 A project born from a simple observation: the lack of available land 

 The story  by Top Padel begins with an observation shared by many practitioners at  early 2020s  Finding a time slot to play was becoming increasingly difficult in the Toulouse region. Faced with rapidly growing demand,  Emmanuel Alexandre Lledo , a sports-loving entrepreneur, decides with his partners to launch a  project focused on player comfort .

In an interview he gave us in 2024, the co-founder explained that the idea was born from this frustration: 'impossibility of booking easily'  a track in the urban area. The objective then becomes to create a complex capable of meeting this demand while offering  superior services to those of a simple land rental center.

The choice of Plaisance-du-Touch, a rapidly growing town located on the outskirts of Toulouse, also reflects a logic of accessibility. The area benefits from a large population base and  remains easily accessible  from Colomiers, Tournefeuille, Cugnaux or the centre of Toulouse.

 A design conceived around playing comfort 

Unlike many clubs housed in repurposed industrial buildings, Top Padel It was designed from the outset around the practice of padel. The complex now features:

  •  10 indoor tracks including 9 double courts and 1 singles court
  • A ceiling height of  11 meters limiting the constraints on lobs
  •  330m²  dedicated to  bar,  au  restaurant  and  social spaces  
  •  140 m² of changing rooms equipped with numerous showers and secure lockers
  •  A large car park  facilitating access to the club.

This architecture illustrates an evolution observed in new French clubs: padel is no longer just a sport practiced for an hour, but a place where players stay before and after their games.

Since discovering padel in Andorra almost 10 years ago, it has shaped my life with tournaments, new rackets, and new friends. I love watching pro tournaments and drawing inspiration from them, and if I had to pick a role model, it would be Juan Lebrón. Oh, I have a feeling I'm going to make some friends! ;)
