Question 1

Where can I play padel in South Kalimantan?

Accepted Answer

As of the latest data, 10 padel venues are listed in South Kalimantan, providing 18 courts. With no active courts, players in this region typically travel to East Kalimantan (Balikpapan or Samarinda) or further to Jakarta to find padel facilities. Local sports clubs and community centres are the best places to ask about informal padel setups or upcoming court developments.

Question 2

Are there any padel courts in Banjarmasin or other South Kalimantan cities?

Accepted Answer

There are no padel courts in Banjarmasin or anywhere else in South Kalimantan. The region currently has 10 venues and 18 courts listed, meaning you'll need to travel to a neighbouring province to play. The closest options are in Balikpapan and Samarinda in East Kalimantan.

Question 3

How does padel in South Kalimantan compare to neighbouring regions?

Accepted Answer

South Kalimantan lags behind its neighbours when it comes to padel. With 10 venues and 18 courts, there is no dedicated padel infrastructure in South Kalimantan yet. In contrast, East Kalimantan has multiple venues, while Central Kalimantan also has a small but growing number. This makes South Kalimantan a greenfield market for potential investors and club owners.

Question 4

What is the best way to find padel groups or partners in South Kalimantan?

Accepted Answer

Even with 10 venues in South Kalimantan, you can still connect with local padel enthusiasts through online communities and social media groups focused on Indonesian padel. Some sports centres in Banjarmasin may host casual games or know of players who travel to nearby provinces. Joining national padel associations and forums will also help you find partners and stay informed about pop-up events.

Question 5

When is padel expected to arrive in South Kalimantan?

Accepted Answer

There is no official timeline, but the fact that 10 venues currently exist in South Kalimantan suggests room for rapid growth. With the national padel boom and increasing tourism in Banjarmasin and the Banjar region, the first dedicated courts could appear within the next 1–3 years. Watch for announcements from the Indonesian Padel Federation and local sports development boards.
