Indoor Padel

Padel is Britain’s fastest-growing sport, with 1 million children and adults now playing each year. That’s why, this January, four high-quality indoor courts will open at Barking Sporthouse and Gym, with a welcoming lounge area where you can relax, catch up and refuel after your game. Whether you’ve never picked up a racket or you already play tennis, squash or badminton, there will be a place for you. 

Padel is played in doubles on an enclosed court, with walls that keep the ball in play. That means longer rallies (and less chasing the ball), more laughs keeping the sport active, fun and social, and perfect for all ages and abilities.  

What to expect

These images are conceptual only and may not accurately reflect the final product.

4 high-end indoor padel courts (located in the old skate park)

A modern and comfortable lounge space and light refreshment area 

The entrance will be through a doorway from the main ground-floor corridor, next to the strength zone. Please note that the entrance to the strength zone will change as part of this development – more information on how this will affect members will be announced in due course.  

We’re working in partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to deliver affordable community programmes for children, adults, and older people. Our aim is for padel here to be accessible, inclusive and welcoming, whoever you are and whatever your experience. Expect options to suit you from court hire, social sessions, coaching, lessons and courses, junior and senior programmes and leagues.  
 
So, whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned racket sport player, we can’t wait to welcome you to the court this January.
