Padel Gets Top Billing at Broomfield's New Indoor Racket Club

"While pickleball already has a strong following here, we're especially excited to introduce more people to squash and padel," Three Rackets co-founder and CEO Mark Fuller told The Best of the Southwest about choosing Broomfield for the club.

The club is at 830 Hoyt St., Suite 150, a 34,000-square-foot building with 13 indoor courts. As of this week, its website says "soft open now." Grand-opening events have been promised for later this fall. Fuller's quote explains how the club is set up. Broomfield already has plenty of pickleball players. Three Rackets is betting on the other two sports, and padel is the one its pricing and layout lean on hardest.

Padel Is Listed First Everywhere and Costs the Most to Book

The club's website banner repeats "padel · pickleball · squash" in that order. The building has five padel courts, five pickleball courts and three squash courts, according to ColoradoBiz's September 1 report. Padel and pickleball get the same number of courts. Prices are where they split.

Here are the nonmember court rental rates published at launch in September 2026. They vary by time of day:

At either end of the range, a padel court costs about twice as much as a pickleball court. Squash is the cheapest court in the building. These are launch rates, so check the club's booking page for current prices before you plan a session.

Pickleball Already Has a Bigger Indoor Home Next Door

In June 2025, Relish Food Hall // Pickleball opened in a former Sam's Club in Louisville with 19 indoor courts, drop-in play and classes, Boulder Reporting Lab reported. Relish's site still takes court bookings, lists events on its calendar this month, and describes a food hall with seven locally owned restaurants and a full bar.

Relish has 19 pickleball courts. Three Rackets has five. Three Rackets isn't trying to beat Relish on volume. For pickleball players near the Broomfield-Louisville line, the two places do different jobs. Relish covers big drop-in sessions with a food hall attached. Three Rackets covers a smaller pickleball game in a building where the other two-thirds of the courts are for sports most local venues don't offer.

According to Three Rackets, having all three sports under one roof makes it one of the few venues in the world to do so.

The Membership Prices Show What Padel Access Costs

Membership pricing makes the same point as the rental rates. ColoradoBiz reported that the inaugural memberships sold out. Discounted plans are available through the end of 2026, at $125 a month for all three sports and $87.50 a month for pickleball and squash.

No plan covers padel alone or pickleball alone. Padel only comes in the three-sport plan, and adding it costs $37.50 a month over the two-sport plan. That works out to $450 a year at the discounted rate. Anyone looking at a membership is really deciding whether padel is worth that extra amount.

The discount runs through the end of 2026, so from this post's publish date there are about two months left in the offer. Prices for 2027 haven't been published.

Squash Players Built It, and the Bar Sits in the Middle

The founders come from squash, the most traditional of the three sports. Brothers Mark and Chris Fuller both played professionally. Mark reached a career-high world ranking of No. 118, and Chris reached No. 89 and won two Professional Squash Association titles. Their partner is co-founder Chris Douglass. The pickleball side has a well-known coach. Scott Fliegelman is a former professional tennis player who started playing pickleball competitively in 2019. He has more than two dozen professional podium finishes and captained the Denver Iconics in the National Pickleball League's first season in 2023.

The building is designed to make it easy to stay after a match. It was designed by Louisville-based DAJ Design and built by Paramount, with a central bar and gathering area and the courts arranged around it. The food menu includes bowls, burgers, sandwiches and shareable dishes. The building also has lounge and remote-work space, a fitness area, locker rooms and a pro shop that rents equipment.

The rental equipment matters most for padel and squash. If you've never played, you don't need to buy a racket before your first session. The club lists introductory programs for new players along with lessons, clinics, leagues, tournaments and junior programs. It has also announced youth camps, charity events and social gatherings. Among its first events was an October 10 open house benefiting ovarian and breast cancer research.

Trying Padel This Season

If you'd like to try the sport the club is promoting without signing up for a membership, start here:

1. Rent equipment at the pro shop. You can try padel or squash without buying any gear.
2. Start with an introductory program or clinic. The coaching staff is set up to teach people who have never played.
3. Watch the clock when you book. Padel courts run $60 to $100 depending on the time of day, so your timing has a real effect on the cost.
4. Try squash too. At $20 to $40 per court, it's the cheapest way to see the club. It's also the sport the founders know best.
5. Sign up for news and updates on threerackets.com. The club takes signups on its homepage.

When North Broomfield Gets Public Courts

Indoor courts are for the cold months. A new outdoor option in north Broomfield is planned for next year. Rally Park broke ground July 23 southeast of Sheridan Parkway and Baseline Road. Plans include gathering spaces, sports courts, trails and a pollinator-themed playground whose design draws on honeycomb shapes, hummingbirds and native grasses, the Broomfield Enterprise reported. The Baseline development's developer has said the park is scheduled to open in 2027.

The park is part of a planned 62-acre "Parklands system" within the Baseline development. A spokesperson told the Enterprise that Rally Park will be owned and maintained by the Baseline Metropolitan Districts and is "meant to be public amenities, and open for all."

If a new club, a new court or a new park is part of how you're choosing where to land in Broomfield or anywhere along the US 36 corridor, Lindsey Harshman follows these openings closely and is happy to talk through which corners of the area fit how you like to spend a winter evening. Let's Connect.
