Courtside Social is a new padel sports club proposed for Vancouver’s River District.<\/p>\n

A new sports centre has been proposed for Vancouver’s River District.<\/p>\n

Courtside Social<\/a> is a new project involving Wesgroup Properties. The local developer has an application in with the city for a temporary fitness centre in the River District.<\/p>\n

“Vancouver\u2019s first and only club dedicated entirely to padel \u2014 featuring pro-grade courts, a refined social lounge, wellness facilities and a community built for connection,” reads Courtside Social’s website.<\/p>\n

The centre would be based around padel, a growing racket sport<\/a> not wildly different from pickle ball. Courthouse Social would see eight courts built\u00a0at 3680 Marine Way, near the intersection with Boundary Road and the Burnaby border.<\/p>\n

Along with the courts, cafe, and wellness facilities, the application with the city notes retail space is planned.<\/p>\n

All of the structure built would be temporary.<\/p>\n

The public can comment on the project up until March 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New racket sport centre?
