Private Events, Indoor Pickleball and Cricket for Frisco, TX
People in Frisco who want indoor pickleball courts, real cricket lanes and a private event space inside one building drive to Pad & Paddle Sports Center at 1000 Spinks Road, Suite 200 in Lewisville.
It sits about 15 miles away, roughly 25 minutes on a normal day. The route is simple.
Take SH 121, the Sam Rayburn Tollway, west past the Dallas North Tollway interchange and on toward Grandscape, then drop south onto I-35E.
Spinks Road runs off the I-35E frontage, so the last part of the trip is not a maze of neighborhood streets.
We will be straight about that drive. This is not a city short on gyms, courts or party rooms.
What it does not have is one 26,000 square foot arena where seven full-size pickleball courts, indoor cricket lanes with bowling machines, table tennis and a private event space all sit under the same roof.
That is why families from Starwood, Newman Village and Phillips Creek Ranch make the trip. One booking covers a group that wants to do three different things in one afternoon.

Where can Frisco families host a private sports party indoors?
Pad & Paddle Sports Center is built for private hire.
The venue is a 26,000 square foot indoor arena, not a party room bolted onto the side of a gym, and the event space is part of the design rather than an afterthought.
Groups book it for birthday parties, get-togethers, corporate events and larger gatherings where a restaurant table would not work.
What makes this different from a standard party venue?
Most party venues give you one activity. Trampolines, or bowling, or an arcade, or a climbing wall.
Guests do that one thing, eat, and leave. The complaint parents raise is always the same.
Half the group loves the activity and the other half is bored inside twenty minutes.
How far is Pad & Paddle from Frisco, and is the drive worth it?
From most addresses it is about 15 miles and roughly 25 minutes. From the western neighborhoods it can be quicker.
From the eastern side near Preston Road and Coit, budget a little more, especially between four and six in the evening when SH 121 stacks up around the tollway interchange.
Can a group book the entire venue?
Yes.
Exclusive use of the facility is available, and it is the format we recommend for larger celebrations, company events and team functions where you do not want an unrelated open play session running twenty feet away.
Is this a good venue for a corporate event or team offsite?
There is no shortage of corporate meeting space in this part of North Texas.
Between the hotels near The Star and the conference rooms around Stonebriar Centre, a company can book a room with a projector any day of the week.
What is harder to find is a corporate event where people actually talk to each other.
Why do Frisco cricket families make this drive?
This is a strong cricket city. There is league play on the outdoor pitches at Northeast Community Park, plenty of club activity, and enough demand that youth programs fill fast.
What that scene runs into is Texas weather and daylight. Outdoor pitches close in the heat, close in the rain, and go dark early in winter.
What kind of pickleball will players find here?
Seven full-size courts, each 60 by 30 feet, on a blue cushioned surface with professional nets and stadium-grade lighting.
Pad & Paddle is a DUPR-verified club, so games here can count toward a rating instead of being purely social.
How do you book courts, lanes or an event?
Court and lane bookings go through CourtReserve online. Create an account, pick a slot, pay, and you are done.
It shows live availability, which is the fastest way to check whether a Saturday morning is already full before you commit to the drive.

Frequently asked
Frisco questions, answered
Can we hire the venue privately rather than sharing it with the public?
Yes. Private hire is one of the core things this facility offers, and it is separate from turning up for open play. You get a defined space and a confirmed window for your group. Tell us your date, your headcount and which sports you want available, and we will confirm what is open and how the floor would be arranged for you.
Is this a good place for a milestone birthday or a sweet sixteen?
It works well for both. A sixteenth birthday needs an activity a large mixed group will genuinely join, and pickleball clears that bar because beginners are rallying within minutes. The cricket lanes and table tennis give guests a second and third option, so the energy does not stall halfway through. Being indoors also removes weather risk from a date booked months ahead.
Do adults book parties here, or is it mostly kids?
Adults book here regularly. Thirtieth, fortieth and fiftieth birthdays, anniversary get-togethers and friend group celebrations all suit the space. The cushioned court surface is easier on knees and ankles than a bare gym floor, which matters for a group that has not played a running sport in a while. Adult events also tend to take the later weekend slots.
Can we buy out the whole facility so nobody else is in the building?
Exclusive use of the venue is available and is the best format for larger or more formal events. It gives your group the full 26,000 square feet with no open play session running alongside. Buyout availability is limited and weekend evenings book earliest, so get in touch as far ahead as you can with your preferred date and a rough headcount.
What extras can be added to an event booking?
Add-ons depend on the event type and the date, so we quote them individually rather than publishing a fixed list. Tell us what you have in mind when you enquire and we will confirm what is possible in the space. Equipment for pickleball, cricket and table tennis is part of the venue, so the activity side of any booking is the straightforward part.
How far ahead should we plan an event?
Earlier is better, particularly for weekends and school holiday periods. Weekend evening slots and full-venue buyouts fill first, and dates around the end of a school term go quickly. If your date is fixed, contact us as soon as you know it. If your date is flexible, we can usually place you at much shorter notice.
How many guests can a private event hold?
Capacity depends on which parts of the venue you book and what your guests will be doing, so we confirm numbers per booking rather than quoting a single figure. The building runs to 26,000 square feet with seven full-size courts plus cricket lanes and table tennis, so it handles large groups comfortably. Send your headcount and we will confirm the right setup.
Can we combine a party with actual court time?
That is how most bookings here work. Guests are not sitting in a room next to the sport, they are playing it. A typical event runs court and lane time alongside the social part, with people rotating between playing, eating and watching. With seven courts plus cricket lanes, a large group can be active at the same time instead of queuing for one attraction.
Are weekend evening slots available?
Weekend evenings are available and are the most requested windows for private events, especially adult celebrations and larger parties. Because demand is highest then, they are also the first to be taken. Check live availability in CourtReserve, or call us with your date, and book as early as you can if a Saturday evening is what you have in mind.
Do you host graduation or end-of-season team parties?
Yes. Graduation celebrations, end-of-season team functions and club wrap-ups suit the venue because they involve large groups who want to do something together rather than sit at tables. School and club teams use the format for exactly that reason. Contact us with your date and numbers, and we will confirm the space and layout available on the day.

Frisco sits about 15 miles east and north of us, and the drive is one you already know.
SH 121 west past the Dallas North Tollway interchange, on toward Grandscape, then down onto I-35E and off at Spinks Road.
Households in Starwood, Newman Village, Phillips Creek Ranch, Frisco Lakes and around Stonebriar all make it in roughly 25 minutes outside rush hour.
There is plenty of sport up your way already, from the fields around Toyota Stadium to the courts at the Frisco Athletic Center and everything happening at The Star.
What none of it gives you is one indoor building where a group can play on seven full-size pickleball courts, face a bowling machine in a cricket lane, and hold the whole celebration in the same place.
