UPDATE: Glasgow City Council is actively considering a proposal for a new four-court padel facility in Port Dundas to address the surging demand for the rapidly growing sport. Game4Padel, a prominent brand in the UK with over 20 locations, has submitted the application to convert an industrial warehouse on Borron Street into a dedicated padel center.
The proposed facility aims to include state-of-the-art amenities such as a café, retail shop, changing rooms, and spectator seating, ensuring a comprehensive experience for players and fans alike. If approved, the center would operate daily from 7 am to 10 pm, making it accessible for all schedules.
Padel, a racket sport similar to tennis but played on enclosed courts, has gained immense popularity across the UK. The application’s statement highlights the urgent need for more facilities to accommodate this growing interest. “To meet public demand for facilities for one of the fastest growing sports in the UK, Glasgow City Padel is proposing a new four-court padel facility within an existing industrial warehouse,” it reads.
