Padel is Coming to Redbridge Sports & Leisure – Opening October 2026

One of the world’s fastest-growing sports is coming to Redbridge Sports & Leisure.

We’re delighted to announce that Padel United UK Redbridge is scheduled to officially open on Saturday 3rd October 2026, bringing a brand-new padel facility to Redbridge Sports & Leisure and creating even more opportunities for the local community to get active, have fun and enjoy racket sports.

Construction of the new venue is expected to begin in August 2026, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for the Centre. Once complete, the development will provide modern, purpose-built padel courts, making it easier than ever for people of all ages and abilities to experience one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK and around the world.

What is Padel?

Padel is a fast-paced racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Played primarily in doubles on an enclosed court, the game is easy to learn, highly social and suitable for players of all ages and abilities.

Its accessibility and emphasis on fun have helped fuel its rapid growth across Europe, with thousands of new players discovering the sport every year.

Whether you’re an experienced racket sports player or have never picked up a racket before, padel is a fantastic way to stay active, meet new people and enjoy friendly competition.

What Can Players Expect?

The new Padel United UK Redbridge venue will feature:

• State-of-the-art padel courts
• Easy court bookings through the Playtomic app
• The ability to find playing partners and join social games
• Exclusive benefits, including priority bookings and discounted court and social rates for Padel members
• A welcoming environment for beginners, casual players and experienced competitors alike

The addition of padel further strengthens Redbridge Sports & Leisure’s commitment to providing high-quality sporting facilities and ensuring the Centre continues to evolve alongside the needs of the local community.

An Exciting Addition to Redbridge Sports & Leisure

For more than 50 years, Redbridge Sports & Leisure has been at the heart of community sport, offering facilities for tennis, badminton, football, fitness, swimming programmes, squash, pickleball and much more.

The arrival of padel is another exciting milestone in the Centre’s ongoing development, giving members and visitors even more ways to enjoy sport, improve their wellbeing and become part of an active community.

Whether you’re looking to play competitively, enjoy a social match with friends or simply try something new, the new facility promises to become a fantastic addition to everything Redbridge Sports & Leisure has to offer.

Opening in October 2026

The official opening weekend is currently scheduled for Saturday 3rd October 2026.
