At Boca Paddle, Weekday Afternoons Cost Members and Visitors the Same Court Rate

Boca Paddle by CityPickle set its grand opening for Wednesday, November 18, at 50 W. Jeffery St., inside the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District's North Park. The club sits on the former Ocean Breeze golf course in the Boca Teeca section of east Boca Raton, near North Dixie Highway and north of Yamato Road. The Palm Beach Post described a 100,000-square-foot complex with 25 courts and a 1,000-seat stadium court called The Royal Court, expected to be the largest indoor facility of its kind in Florida.

For someone who lives in Boca, the rate card matters more than the size. Boca Paddle is a membership club built on District-owned land. Its 2026 pricing reflects that: one weekday window charges everyone the same court rate, the restaurant has no gate, and the membership mostly buys evenings, weekends and the social programs.

The Six Hours When the Price Is the Same

The club's 2026 rate card puts court rentals in two groups. Standard and Plus members are in one. Community members and nonmembers are in the other. Off-peak hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

From 10 to 4 on a weekday, every court costs a visitor the same as a member. In the evenings and on weekends, Standard and Plus members pay $20 less per hour on every court type. Those are the hours when demand is highest.

The grouping also explains the Community tier. At $49 a month it is the cheapest membership, and it rents courts at nonmember rates. The $20 discount starts at the $149 Standard tier. What the Community tier buys is access to members-only programming. Pickleball open play runs $10 to $12.50 an hour, social programs $10 and leagues $20. On the padel side, open play is $15 to $20 an hour, social programs $15 and leagues $30.

Getting In Without a Membership

A membership does not include court time. According to Boca Post's reading of the club FAQ, court rentals, open play, clinics and leagues are all billed on top of it. Even the $299 Plus tier comes with 12 open play passes a month, and everything else is charged at member rates.

A nonmember has two ways in:

• A day pass: $35 for Boca Raton residents who show proof of residence, and $40 for everyone else. There is no limit on how often you can buy one.
• A guest visit: anyone can come once every 60 days as a member's free guest, paying member rates for courts and programming.

A day pass lets you book pickleball and padel courts at any open time and join intro clinics. Group clinics cost $40 an hour for pickleball and $50 for padel, and nonmembers pay the same as members. The rate card lists open play, social programs and leagues as members only.

Here is how that works for a resident who plays on weekdays. A Tuesday 11 a.m. indoor pickleball booking costs $35 at the door plus the same $45 an hour a member pays. The higher nonmember court rate only applies after 4 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays.

What Membership Buys Is the Social Calendar

According to The Palm Beach Post, the club plans more than 200 hours of court time a day, with programming that runs from clinics, lessons and open play to leagues and tournaments. Some courts are set aside for first-time players. Every court has cameras and a 70-inch monitor, so players can track scores, replay points and share clips with coaches. The club is also the home of the Palm Beach Royals, a Major League Pickleball team.

The courts break down this way: 14 indoor pickleball courts, one covered stadium court, four outdoor pickleball courts, two indoor padel courts and four covered padel courts. The indoor courts are climate-controlled. That covers 16 of the 25, which matters for anyone who has played a 2 p.m. match in August. Members also get the rest of the building: locker rooms with showers, saunas, cold plunge pools, a recovery zone, a pro shop, coworking space and private phone booths.

Farmer's Kitchen Needs No Pass at All

The easiest way in costs nothing up front. Farmer's Kitchen is the full-service restaurant and bar run by the Farmer's Table team. TAPinto Boca Raton reported that Boca Paddle said it would be open to the public without a membership or day pass. Culinary director Chef Michael Schenk oversees the menu. According to the Sun Sentinel, Farmer's Kitchen is set to open November 18 and plans to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner from scratch-made, locally sourced dishes designed around the protein needs of pickleball and padel players. It also plans a full bar, catering and private-event space.

"Pairing great food and hospitality with a world-class pickleball and padel members club, complete with social and workspaces, recovery, saunas, cold plunges and so many other amenities, was a natural fit," Schenk told the Sun Sentinel.

The club's dining page lists the menu as coming soon. With no pass required at the restaurant, someone who never picks up a paddle can come for a meal or a drink and pay only for what they order.

Why a Private Club Keeps Public Hours

The rate card follows from the land deal. In July 2024, the Beach and Park District commissioners approved a 55-page concession agreement with Boca Paddle LLC by a 4–1 vote. The Boca Raton Tribune reported that one of the District's attorneys told the board, "This is not a lease of any land," because the District is not legally permitted to sell or lease its land.

The Tribune listed the main terms of that agreement:

1. An initial term of 49 years plus 61 days, with a right to extend.
2. The concessionaire builds at its own cost and gets all permits.
3. Profit sharing is paid to the District in monthly installments.
4. The facility must be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., except federal holidays and closures for repairs.

The required hours explain why the off-peak window exists at all. A building that has to stay open 15 hours a day, every day, needs people on its courts during the workday, and a flat weekday rate open to any resident with a $35 pass helps fill them. The District has also gained something beyond the club itself. The facility is hurricane-resistant, designed to FEMA standards, and can serve as a public shelter, TAPinto reported. The club has hired 80 employees.

The Rest of North Park Is Just Breaking Ground

Boca Paddle is the second North Park feature scheduled to open to residents. The first is the Traffic Garden on Jeffery St., west of NW 2nd Ave. It was built on old tennis-court pavement, opened in August 2025 to teach young cyclists road safety, and has since added restrooms, shaded seating and an adjacent parking lot. The District bought the golf course in 2018 and retired the bond in summer 2025, nearly seven years early, which the District says sped up development.

On September 3, all five District commissioners broke ground on the 70-acre east side. That phase will add more than five miles of walking and riding trails with exercise equipment along some of them, plus a dog park, a playground and more than 1,000 native trees. "It means the end of the beginning," District Chair Bob Rollins said, according to Boca Post. Commissioners also approved a design in January for a 42,000-square-foot skatepark on the same side.

The way in is changing too. The City of Boca Raton has started building the Jeffery Street railroad crossing just east of NW 2nd Ave., where Clint Moore Street ends. It replaces the former NW 28th Street crossing and creates an east-west connection that the City says will improve access to North Park. A $2 million Congressional Community Project Funding award is helping pay for it, and the City is coordinating the work with Florida East Coast Railway and the Florida Department of Transportation. For now, the club lists access from Federal Highway and I-95.
