What you'd want to know
Three outdoor, floodlit padel courts in Catford, open from early until late. Panoramic glass-walled courts with turf surfaces, ringed by mesh fencing under tall floodlights.
A clubhouse with a bar and café sits alongside — casual seating, a racket-hire desk, changing rooms and showers behind. A neighbourhood club setting rather than a polished arena.
