OCEANSIDE — The Townsite neighborhood near downtown Oceanside will soon welcome two new courts designed for padel, an increasingly popular game similar to tennis. The city's Planning Commission on May 8 unanimously approved the construction and operation of two padel courts at 222 South Coast Hwy. Now vacant, the 9,500-square-foot site was previously a used car lot. Padel is played on small enclosed courts (like a squash court) using carbon fiber or fiberglass rackets. The games are played in doubles — four players per court — and the games typically consist of three sets.
