Courts One and Two

The court mesh on both courts has been replaced from 3mm to 4mm and extends closer to the playing surface. This is to provide a better playing experience and in keeping with new court builds.

We continue to increase our maintenance routine but the wet / cold conditions have restricted the courts being brushed with machinery just twice.
The Padel court surface playability in wet / cold conditions can become inconsistent and slippery, especially on the covered court. When Members play in these conditions it compacts the pile and sand further, increasing the slippery nature during play. Please take care.

More maintenance with a firm machine brush is scheduled in March along with additional topping up of sand in the dry conditions.

It is hoped to see greater improvement with playability and provide future data points for research of the new court surface to be chosen for the new Padel courts in the Hub.

Padel and Pickleball Hub

Options for the location of a new padel court hub are still being thought through and a meeting with Wandsworth Planners will be arranged early in the New Year to see what permissions are likely to be given. That will give us a steer on what is possible and how we can plan to future proof padel , pickleball and tennis to all flourish alongside each other.
