Padel clubs in and around Montreal have operated on a essential model of courts and a reception desk, point final, and an underlying assumption that players would find someplace else to socialize after a game. This model works—the existing clubs are busy, after all—but it leaves a gap that those who've played the sport in Europe or the Middle East would recognize immediately. This is because clubs abroad function as destination more than venue.
Kopa, which opened in Pointe-Saint-Charles in May, is a 20,000-square-foot space built around this gap. One wouldn’t think it’s just for the love of the game, as it houses two Pilates studios, a fully licensed bar, a La Marzocco machine, and daily pastry deliveries from the PSC outpost of Louise in addition to its four padel courts and a pickleball court.
