New padel centers are cropping up around the county: Padel Up at Westfield Century City, Pura Padel L.A. in Sherman Oaks and at the courts at L.A.

The duo has two other high-angle booths in L.A., one at a cafe called About Time in Koreatown and another in the food court at the Westfield Culver City, as well as a regular, selfie-style booth at Mi Café in Koreatown.

The original Westfield plan called for a 10,000-seat venue, which could mean crowds and congestion — or crickets — depending on the day.

Seven years later, mall developer Westfield rolled out plans for an economically viable community to replace the outdated Promenade.

But with more people working from home, and increasing reliance on shopping online, the original Westfield plans needed updating.
