Six brand-new padel courts coming to Milton Keynes’ most popular lakeside park
A new padel facility is coming to Milton Keynes, complete with indoor and outdoor courts, as well as daily social sessions.
Willen Lake will be gaining an exciting addition of six brand-new padel courts opening this year. Brought by UK Padel, the new courts will offer a fun and social sport for players of all ages and abilities.
Padel has taken the UK by storm, with over 400,000 people (including celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams and David Beckham) now playing the easy to learn, low impact racket sport.
The new facility comes with four covered courts and two open-air courts, allowing them to be open all year round. The complex will feature doubles and singles courts, making them particularly appealing to those new to the sport or looking to meet other players.
When the courts open, players will be able to take part in daily social mix-in sessions. The sessions are designed for players of all levels and aim to help build confidence, develop skills, and connect people through play.
Nick Baker, CEO of UK Padel, added: “UK PADEL is all about making padel accessible to all and creating a real sense of community at our padel clubs.
“Our new club at Willen Lake fits perfectly with this - allowing everyone to enjoy playing padel at this wonderful setting in the lakeside park.
“With our team of expert padel professionals, we will ensure that it is a true hub for individuals, couples and families to play and join in at the club. ”
The new courts add to Willen Lake’s exciting range of activities spanning sport, leisure and nature.
Robert Wood, Executive Director at Willen Lake, said: “Willen Lake has always been about bringing people together through activity, nature and shared experiences.
“Partnering with UK Padel allows us to introduce an exciting new sport in a way that feels open, welcoming and accessible.”
When the courts open, bookings will follow the UK Padel model, with non-members able to book courts up to six days in advance. Players who choose to become annual members will be able to book courts up to 21 days in advance at a reduced rate.
