The full picture AI research

An indoor padel facility is planned at 1300–1301 Virginia Drive in Upper Dublin Township. Padel is a racquet sport, played in a walled court, that is a bit like tennis and squash combined. The new building would be about 30,000 square feet and hold six courts. It would also have a sauna, locker rooms, food service and a pro shop.

The site covers about 15.5 acres and already has two office buildings and a large parking lot. The padel building would be built on part of the parking lot, and both office buildings would stay.
