What you'd want to know
Four outdoor padel courts set within the athletics grounds of the Millennium Arena in Battersea Park, ringed by the running track and the park's mature plane trees. Panoramic glass-walled courts with green astroturf, floodlit for evening play, laid out in a tidy block beside the arena's stand.
The parkland setting is open and green — joggers on the track, the Thames a short walk north — with the arena's changing facilities and a large free car park alongside. No permanent bar; the focus is the courts and the park around them.
Overheard from locals
- Courts make it easier to get on.
- It is in Battersea Park by the running track — lovely on a clear evening.
- Everything is included, just book and turn up.
- Groups and socials are the way in if you are solo or new.
- Weekday evenings run under floodlights; weekends wrap up earlier.
