Three Rackets is a 34,000-square-foot indoor club at 830 Hoyt St., Suite 150. It has 13 courts for three sports, and its homepage now reads "soft open now." Pickleball has five of those courts. Padel and squash take up the other eight, so the club is mostly made up of sports that most of Broomfield has never played. ColoradoBiz and Colorado Parent both reported the same breakdown: five padel courts, five pickleball courts and three squash courts.
The founders have said so directly. In the club's announcement, as quoted by Colorado Parent, co-founder and CEO Mark Fuller said: "While pickleball already has a strong following here, we're especially excited to introduce more people to squash and padel and create a place where all three sports can thrive together." The court prices and membership tiers follow the same priority, with padel at the top.
Five indoor padel courts is a lot for Colorado
Padel only reached Colorado recently. According to The Denver Post, Parker Racquet Club was the first place in the state to offer it, in 2024. By June 2026, the Post's list of places to play included these venues:
| Venue | Location | Padel courts listed |
|---|---|---|
| Denver Racquets Club | Lakewood | Four outdoor |
| Racket Social Club | Englewood | Four indoor |
| Smash Padel | Boulder | Indoor, count not given |
| Cloud 9 Park | Denver | One outdoor |
| Olympus Padel | Colorado Springs | Three indoor |
| Racquet Sports Center at Aspen Meadows | Aspen | One outdoor, summer only |
With five indoor courts, Three Rackets has more indoor padel than any venue on that list that gave a court count. Indoor courts matter here because three of the listed venues play outdoors, and Aspen's court is open only in summer. A Broomfield player who wants padel in January now has a choice that doesn't depend on the weather and doesn't require a drive to Englewood.
The club's court page describes padel as almost always played in doubles. It's played on an enclosed court with glass and mesh walls, and players learn to play the ball off those walls. The page compares the long, tactical rallies to a mix of tennis and squash. According to The Denver Post's June coverage, a padel coordinator at Parker Racquet Club found that players pick up padel faster than pickleball.
Padel is the club's most expensive court
Three Rackets lists court rates by sport and by peak or off-peak time:
| Sport | Peak, per court | Peak, per person | Off-peak, per court | Off-peak, per person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Padel | $100 | $25 | $60 | $15 |
| Pickleball | $48 | $12 | $30 | $7.50 |
| Squash | $40 | $20 | $20 | $10 |
For a foursome, a peak padel court costs about twice as much as a peak pickleball court, and the per-person rates follow the same ratio. Squash costs the least per court, but its per-person rates are higher than pickleball's. Colorado Parent reported the same ranges in September. These were the posted rates at the time of writing, and the homepage still advertises introductory pricing.
Memberships are priced around padel too
The membership page lists six tiers. The main difference between the top two is whether padel is included:
- Three Rackets Premium, starting at $250. Includes padel, pickleball and squash, free peak and off-peak court bookings, and daily free play of 1.5 hours at peak times or 2 hours off-peak.
- Pickleball & Squash Premium, starting at $175. Same perks, but no padel.
- Core, starting at $65. Includes all three sports and the 14-day booking window, but court time isn't free.
- Junior, starting at $50, for players under 18. Includes free off-peak bookings and 2 hours of off-peak free play per day.
- Couples versions of the two Premium tiers, starting at $450 and $315.
At list price, padel adds $75 a month to Premium. The page also advertises the code OPEN50 for half off a monthly membership. Colorado Parent reported that the code brings Three Rackets Premium to $125 a month and Pickleball & Squash Premium to $87.50, and that the offer was expected to run through the end of 2026. With the discount, adding padel costs $37.50 a month.
The tiers matter even for one-time visits. The padel beginner open play described below is free for Three Rackets Premium members and costs $25 for everyone else, including Pickleball & Squash Premium members. Padel is the one sport that the cheaper premium tier leaves out.
Trying it out costs little
You don't need a membership to see whether padel or squash is for you. The club's booking calendar lists several entry points for non-members:
- Padel Green Community Open Play, Sundays 3 to 4:30 p.m. This is 90 minutes of matches for beginners, with 4 to 12 players. You can register alone, as a pair or as a group. It costs $25 for non-members.
- Introduction to Pickleball, Wednesdays 6 to 7 p.m. A coach-led group class covering grip, serve, scoring, positioning and rules. It costs $10 for non-Premium players and is free for Premium members. It includes a T-shirt, a Gatorade, a protein bar and a free Green clinic or Green open play session to book afterward.
- Introduction to Squash, Wednesdays 6 to 7 p.m., with the same $10 entry and the same extras.
For experienced players, the calendar also lists Pickleball Black Open Play, an advanced two-hour round-robin on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. It costs $20 for non-members, Core and Junior, and $5 for Premium members using their daily free time. Squash Club Night runs Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and costs $30 for non-members and Core, or $5 for Premium.
If you're new to padel, the Sunday session is a good first step. A peak padel court for four costs $100. The beginner session costs $25 per person and puts you on court with other first-timers, so you don't need to bring three friends.
According to Colorado Parent, the building also has a pro shop with equipment rentals, a central bar and lounge, locker rooms and a fitness area. The menu includes bowls, burgers, sandwiches and shareable plates. The facility was designed by Louisville-based DAJ Design.
Broomfield's pickleball already had a home
Mark Fuller's remark about pickleball's "strong following here" is supported by the city's gym schedule. The Broomfield Community Center at 280 Spader Way runs pickleball drop-ins nearly every day. Its October 2026 gymnasium schedule shows:
- Advanced drop-ins starting at 5 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
- Intermediate play from 10 a.m. to noon on weekdays
- Beginner and beginner/intermediate blocks in the afternoons, including Friday from noon to 4:30 p.m.
- Evening drop-ins on Monday and Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m.
- Weekend sessions, including intermediate/advanced play on Sunday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.
The city's policy is that pickleball players set up and take down their own nets during their scheduled time. Food and drinks aren't allowed in the gym, but water is. November sessions may move around, so check the current month's schedule before you go.
So the city gym covers most of Broomfield's pickleball needs, and Three Rackets fills a different gap. A Broomfield household that wants to play padel or squash indoors this winter now has an option in town. Before this fall, that meant driving to Boulder or Englewood for padel.
The club also has local roots. It first opened its doors on October 10 for a sold-out fundraiser with Rocky Mountain PIKL, according to a post on the club's site. More than 120 players turned out and raised $4,394.86 for the HERA Ovarian Cancer Foundation. Coaches ran padel and squash intro sessions throughout the day.
