Battersea Park Padel (at Battersea Park Millennium Arena) is a brilliant option if you love the idea of playing padel outdoors in one of London’s best green spaces. The Arena is a well-known local sports hub — with an athletics track, gym, fitness classes and plenty of other facilities — and the padel courts sit right in the middle of that active, community feel.

There are four outdoor padel courts, available year-round, making it a great spot for everything from your first hit to regular weekly games. Padel is quick to learn, super sociable, and works for all ages and abilities — and Battersea Park is a cracking setting to enjoy it in.
