Anteater Recreation Center

Located on the UC Irvine campus, the Anteater Recreation Center (ARC) serves university affiliates and local Southern California racket players alike. The facility provides outdoor padel courts built with regulation tempered glass walls, textured synthetic turf, and heavy-duty steel mesh. The atmosphere reflects an active collegiate athletic environment, hosting competitive match play alongside recreational open court hours. Doubles action peaks during late afternoons and weekend mornings as community leagues and university clubs share the space. Court reservations are handled directly through the UCI Campus Recreation online portal or at the ARC front service counter. Supported by Irvine's year-round mild climate and powerful court floodlighting for evening sessions, the ARC hosts a reliable calendar of round-robins, ladder leagues, and casual drop-in games, solidifying its place in the expanding Orange County padel circuit.
