Druid Padel, Ireland’s fastest-growing, community-focused padel brand, has opened Druid Padel Kimmage at BD Gyms Carlisle. The new venue expands the brand’s growing footprint across Dublin and brings high-quality covered padel courts to the heart of Dublin 12.

Druid Padel Kimmage now welcomes local residents, schools, community groups and corporate teams to experience one of the world’s most exciting and accessible sports. Padel combines elements of tennis and squash in a fun, social format that is easy to learn and accessible to all ages and abilities.

The new club features three covered Padel Galis courts and a modern clubhouse, creating a premium year round playing environment. As the official distributor of Padel Galis courts in Ireland, Druid Padel continues to invest in best in class facilities designed to elevate the player experience and support the rapid growth of the sport nationwide.

The clubhouse has been designed to create a welcoming social hub for players and visitors and will include

• A dedicated padel reception for bookings, enquiries and member support.
• A fully stocked club shop featuring Babolat padel products, with Druid Padel the official distributor of Babolat padel in Ireland.
• Fresh coffee and pastries served daily.

In addition to open play, Druid Padel Kimmage offers a full programme of leagues, social events, tournaments and corporate experiences, alongside structured coaching for beginners through to advanced players.

Edel Clarke, CEO of Druid Padel, said “The opening of Druid Padel Kimmage marks another important step in our mission to grow padel in a way that is community-first, inclusive and professionally delivered. We are creating spaces where people can connect, compete and improve in a welcoming environment. Dublin 12 has a strong sense of community and we are excited to bring a premium, year-round padel experience to the area.”

Rachael Blackmore, Brand Ambassador for Druid Padel, said: "I've spent so many years fully immersed in racing, and while that will always be a huge part of my life, it's great to now explore something new. Padel is incredibly fun, social and competitive in its own way, and I've really enjoyed it whenever I’ve had the opportunity to play. Seeing facilities like this open in Dublin 12 is fantastic, it will give more people the chance to experience and enjoy padel like so many others.”
