After hosting a successful Padel court pop-up at sports and games themed event, The Battersea Games in 2023, Rocket Padel will be returning to Battersea Power Station later this year to open Central London’s first riverside indoor Padel courts.
Pioneers in the world’s fastest growing sport, Rocket Padel is on a mission to make the racket sport accessible to everyone by creating standout destinations for enthusiasts of all levels, which is exactly what they will bring to the new venue at Battersea Power Station. The four indoor courts will be in place for five years and built to the east of the Grade II* listed landmark alongside an immersive exhibition space.
Community is at the heart of what Battersea Power Station and Rocket Padel want to achieve with this exciting new venue. There will be community-focused programmes with local youth organisations, charities and schools benefitting from free taster sessions at the Padel courts. The sports venue will also create new jobs for local residents, as well as a variety of educational workshops, work experience opportunities and apprenticeships. An LTA accredited coaching and training programme will be available at Rocket Padel Battersea too.
A landscaped public realm will sit alongside the Padel courts for visitors to enjoy, adding to the green spaces already open at the riverside neighbourhood, including the six-acre Power Station Park. Rocket Padel will be open seven days a week and offer a refreshment kiosk so players can refuel after being on court.
