Exciting news for padel enthusiasts in Lincolnshire! A new site has been secured for the construction of state-of-the-art padel courts, bringing this fast-growing sport to the region. The new facility will be located at Bishops Trade Park in Lincoln, a prime location known for its accessibility and vibrant community.
The project is spearheaded by Vida del Padel, a company dedicated to promoting and expanding the sport of padel in the UK. The new site, Unit C4, offers a spacious 10,070 sq ft area, perfect for accommodating multiple courts. This location was chosen after an extensive search for the ideal premises, ensuring that the new courts will meet the highest standards for players of all levels.
Ross Carlin, director at Vida del Padel, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting Lincoln’s demographic appeal and the city’s vibrant retail and leisure scene. The new facility will feature two full-size padel courts and the UK’s first singles padel court, providing ample opportunities for both doubles and singles play.
Ross Carlin, said: “In location terms, Lincoln holds a demographic attraction. Not only does it have a vibrant retail and leisure scene in the city centre, boosted by a university cohort, but there is an advantageous reach of population within a 30 to 45 minute drive.
“While Unit C at Bishops Trade Park scored in terms of customer accessibility and parking too, internally, the layout of the unit also offered us carte blanche to have the padel court layouts we wanted.
Our unit has a really good eaves height for clearance. Padel is, conventionally, a sport played by doubles and so the size of the new premises lends itself to us having two full size padel courts and, in addition, what will be the UK’s first singles padel court.”
The layout of the unit at Bishops Trade Park is particularly well-suited for padel, with high eaves offering excellent clearance for the sport. The location also boasts convenient customer accessibility and ample parking, making it an ideal spot for players from across the region.
The opening of these new courts marks a significant milestone for padel in Lincolnshire, offering a dedicated space for enthusiasts to enjoy the sport. The facility is set to open on August 31st, and it promises to be a hub for padel activity, attracting players from all over the county.
With the addition of these new courts, Lincolnshire is poised to become a key destination for padel in the UK, fostering a growing community of players and fans. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the sport, the new padel courts in Lincolnshire are sure to provide an exciting and welcoming environment for all.
