🎾O/T:- Padel courts at Meadow Lane

[laddo]

The hourly costs are probably due to the high tendency to play 'doubles' in this sport. So any cost split 4-ways and makes it reasonably priced.

Those costs are pretty much in line with booking indoor courts at the tennis centre.

Might be an odd question but is it outdoor courts only?

It's indoor obviously

[Elite_Pie]

From the pics, which is all I've seen, it's outdoor with a roof. Maybe a bit chilly at first in winter, but when has that been a problem*?

* Must admit I have trouble getting my balls to bounce in cold weather.

If you'd have read the article and viewed the picture, there is obviously no roof to those courts.

They still have 12 days to put one on before it officially opens

So you park up go to the shop for the rackets then go back round to the courts, brilliant

[Carlton_Pie]

It looks that way from the photo. Not sure if there are/were plans for a roof though?

EDIT: It seems a roof was planned, judging from the images here

and

The courts look nothing like that picture to be honest

Or just buy your own racket and balls

Very suprised the courts do not have a roof.

I can see the vending machines getting vandalised
