The Closest Indoor Pickleball Courts to Highland Village
Highland Village residents play indoor pickleball at Pad & Paddle Sports Center, 4.3 miles away at 1000 Spinks Road in Lewisville, which makes it the closest city to the facility.
The drive runs Highland Village Road east to I-35E, south to the SH 121 exit, then over to Valley Ridge Boulevard and Spinks Road.
Ten minutes, one highway, no traffic worth complaining about outside rush hour.
That distance is the whole point of this page.
Pad & Paddle holds seven full-size pickleball courts, indoor cricket lanes, table tennis, and 26,000 square feet of climate-controlled space, and for this city it sits closer than most people's grocery store.
Ten minutes changes what a facility is for. At forty minutes you plan a trip.
At ten you go because you have a free hour on a Tuesday, or because it is raining and you were going to walk anyway.
Multiple open play sessions run every day across all skill levels, so the trip does not need an occasion attached to it.

Take Highland Village Road east to I-35E, head south, exit toward SH 121, then follow Valley Ridge Boulevard to Spinks Road. The address is 1000 Spinks Road, Suite 200.
Can you show up and play without a reservation?
Largely, yes.
Multiple open play sessions run every day across all skill levels, and Walk In is one of the membership options at the facility, which exists precisely for people who want to turn up rather than plan.
What is there to play on a weekday morning or early afternoon?
Weekday daytime is the quiet, uncrowded window at almost any sports facility, and it is the best-value time to be at Pad & Paddle.
Open play runs multiple times a day, and Off Peak is one of the membership levels specifically built around playing outside the busiest hours.
Is this a good place for seniors and low-impact play?
It is one of the better setups in the area for it, and the reasons are specific rather than promotional.
What if you do not have a partner to play with?
Come anyway. Open play exists for exactly this.
You arrive on your own, you get put into games, and you play doubles with people who were in the same position.
It is the standard way most pickleball players in the country actually play.
What are the courts and the facility actually like?
Seven full-size pickleball courts, each 60 by 30 feet, which is the regulation footprint including run-off.
That matters because a lot of indoor pickleball is played on undersized courts squeezed into a converted room, where chasing a wide ball means hitting a wall.
How does this compare to playing at Unity Park?
Unity Park on Briarhill Boulevard is a genuinely good city park.
Thirty-eight acres, outdoor pickleball courts, tennis courts, a multi-court basketball facility, soccer and baseball fields, a dog park, a fishing pier, and trails.
Doubletree Ranch Park adds a splash pad, a rentable barn, and trail connections. The city is not short on outdoor recreation, and it runs it well.
Which membership fits someone who plays casually?
The membership levels are All Access Solo, Advantage, Trial, Off Peak, Open Play, Family All Access, Walk In, and Cricket Maestro.
For a resident playing casually, the relevant ones are usually Walk In, Trial, Off Peak, and Open Play.

Frequently asked
Highland Village questions, answered
How long does the drive from Highland Village actually take?
Around ten minutes for most of the city, covering roughly 4.3 miles. Take Highland Village Road east to I-35E, go south, exit toward SH 121, then follow Valley Ridge Boulevard to Spinks Road. Highland Shores, Chapel Hill, and Castlewood all reach the connector quickly. Only the evening commute on I-35E adds meaningful time to the trip.
Can I drop in and play, or do I need a reservation?
You can drop in during open play sessions, which run multiple times every day at all skill levels, and Walk In is one of the available options. Check the day's session schedule before you leave, since sessions are organized by skill level and time of day. Current session times are 9am to 10pm Monday through Thursday, 9am to 11pm Friday, 8am to 11pm Saturday and 8am to 8pm Sunday, viewable on CourtReserve or by calling (817) 983-6346.
What counts as off-peak, and is it worth it?
Off Peak is a membership tier built around playing outside the busiest hours, typically weekday daytime rather than evenings and weekends. It is worth it if your schedule is flexible, which describes a lot of local retirees and remote workers. Qualifying hours and pricing are 9am to 10pm Monday through Thursday, 9am to 11pm Friday, 8am to 11pm Saturday and 8am to 8pm Sunday and {{PRICING}}, so confirm both at (817) 983-6346.
Is weekday morning play any good, or is it empty?
It is the best window at most facilities. Open play runs multiple times daily including daytime sessions, and daytime groups tend to be more social and less intense than evening ones. You get more court access, less waiting between games, and a friendlier environment for anyone learning. For players with a flexible calendar, it is the strongest reason to make the ten-minute drive.
Is pickleball suitable for seniors or people with joint issues?
It is one of the most joint-friendly racket sports. The court is small, so there is far less running than tennis, and the underhand serve does not load the shoulder. The blue cushioned indoor surface absorbs more impact than outdoor concrete, and climate control removes the heat risk. Open play runs at all skill levels, so beginners have a place to start.
What is the trial membership for?
Trial is a short-term membership level for people who have played once or twice and want to test whether it becomes a regular habit before committing to a longer term. It is a sensible middle step between paying walk-in rates and joining outright. Terms, length, and pricing are {{PRICING}}, so call (817) 983-6346 for the current details.
Can I come alone and still get a full game?
Yes. Open play is built for solo players. You arrive during a session, get matched into doubles games, and rotate through several partners in one visit. Nobody at an open play session is inconvenienced by a player showing up alone. It is how most people in the sport play, and it is the fastest way to build a group of regulars.
How far in advance can I reserve a court?
Court reservations and open play sign-ups are handled online through CourtReserve, which shows the current booking window and available slots. Booking windows and how far ahead they open are set by the facility, so check CourtReserve for live availability or call (817) 983-6346. Evening and weekend slots go first, so book those earlier than daytime ones.
When is the facility quietest?
Weekday daytime hours are consistently the quietest at facilities like this one, with evenings and weekends being the busiest. Exact quiet windows shift with the open play schedule and the season, and current session times are 9am to 10pm Monday through Thursday, 9am to 11pm Friday, 8am to 11pm Saturday and 8am to 8pm Sunday. If you want the emptiest courts, call (817) 983-6346 and ask which sessions are lightest that week before you drive over.
What is parking like, and is it a walk to the door?
Parking is on-site surface parking in a business park setting on Spinks Road, not a parking garage or a shared shopping-center lot. You park close to the building and walk in with your bag. For a facility you are visiting several times a week, that convenience adds up, and it is one more reason the ten-minute trip stays a ten-minute trip.

Memberships from All Access to Walk In · 1000 Spinks Road, Suite 200, Lewisville, TX 75067
Highland Village is the closest city to the facility, and the drive shows it.
Highland Shores residents pick up Highland Village Road and are on I-35E within a couple of minutes.
Chapel Hill, Castlewood, Rolling Hills Estates, and Montclair Estates all reach the same connector quickly, and the highway stretch south toward the SH 121 exit is short enough that traffic rarely matters outside the evening peak.
For anyone who already runs errands at The Shops at Highland Village, walks the trails at Doubletree Ranch Park, or plays on the outdoor courts at Unity Park, this is the same order of trip.
The practical effect is that indoor courts stop being a destination and start being a habit, available on a rainy Tuesday or a 105-degree afternoon.
