Padel and pickleball at half the off-peak price, all year. For verified Waikato Uni, Wintec, high school and tertiary students.
Show us a valid student ID and we'll add the Student Pass to your Padel Park account. From then on, every off-peak court booking is half the listed off-peak rate — across padel and pickleball. No monthly fee, no minimum bookings, no expiry while you're studying.
Off-peak padel is normally $14 per person per hour. With Student Pass: $7. Bring three mates and the whole court is $28.
Off-peak pickleball is normally $8 per person per hour. With Student Pass: $4. Cheaper than a coffee, more fun than a gym.
Both sports have free 30-minute beginner intros every week — rackets, paddles and balls included. No experience needed.
Plenty of time to play between classes, mid-week, or late after a study session. Off-peak covers everything outside the busy evening window.
Full off-peak vs standard rates available on the Court Pricing page.
Cheaper than the gym, more social than running. Two sports under one roof, weekday afternoons free, friends made by week three.
Verify once, save every time. No monthly fee. Cancel only if you stop being a student.
Off-peak covers weekday daytime — perfect for the 11am to 4pm gap or after your last class.
Open Matches and weekly socials mean you don't need three friends to play. Show up, get paired.
The 50% off applies to both padel and pickleball. Try one this week, the other next week.
Sign up online or in the Padel Park app. Takes 60 seconds.
Drop in during staffed hours (weekdays 4–9pm, weekends 10am–3pm) with a valid student ID, or email a photo to office@padelpark.nz with your account name.
50% off off-peak applies from your next booking onward. No further steps.
Any current student at a recognised institution — Waikato Uni, Wintec, Hamilton high schools, polytechnics, English-language schools, full-time tertiary courses. A current student ID card (physical or digital) is enough.
No. The Student Pass is a free perk added to your account. You only pay for the courts you book, at half the normal off-peak rate.
For the duration of your studies. We'll check in once a year to make sure your student ID is still current.
Yes. The pass only applies to your share of the booking, so a four-player booking with one Student Pass holder gets 50% off one quarter of the court cost. Easy way to introduce your mates to the sport.
The 50% off applies to court bookings only. Free intro sessions are already free — the rest of the discount stack works the same way for everyone.
Yes — if you're studying in NZ at a recognised institution, you qualify. Show us your student ID and you're sorted.
Drop us a line and we'll switch you to a regular membership. Or just let your pass expire — you can still book courts at the normal off-peak rate.
You don't need any of this to get started — the vending machine and pro shop have hire gear. But if you're falling for the sport, these are the picks that won't blow your student budget.
Two sports, six indoor courts, off-peak from $4 with your Student Pass.
