We've launched padel at Eaton Park

Four floodlit panoramic glass courts are now open at Eaton Park in Norwich. It is our first padel venue, right next to the Eaton Park tennis courts.

Padel has arrived at Eaton Park. Eaton Park Padel is now open in Norwich, with four floodlit panoramic glass courts sitting right alongside the Eaton Park tennis courts. It is National Tennis's first padel venue, and it is open to everyone, whether you have played before or not.

The courts were officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Norwich, joined by members of the National Tennis team.

  • Social sessions and mixed-ability Americanos

New to padel?

Padel is played in doubles on an enclosed court, 20 metres by 10 metres, with glass walls that stay in play. The scoring is the same as tennis and the serve is underarm, so most people are rallying within their first session. If you already play tennis you will pick it up quickly, and if you have never held a racket, an intro session with one of our coaches is the easiest place to start.

Our What is padel? guide explains the court, the rules and how the game compares with tennis.
