£2.5m padel court complex approved for Kirkby town centre

People in Kirkby will soon be able to play padel locally as the result of a £2.5m investment towards the creation of a 32,000 square foot retail and leisure space in the town centre.

This space would have room for six to eight padel courts, changing rooms, a café and social space and community use areas.

Padel is a racquet sport which blends elements of tennis and squash and is normally played in doubles on a small court surrounded by glass and mesh walls.
