'Huge' new padel centre with championship-level courts opening in Liverpool - here's when

A ‘huge’ new padel centre with championship-level indoor and outdoor will open in Liverpool next week.

Ignite Padel, a Liverpool-based company, opened its first site in the city on Queens Drive in April, with six floodlit outdoor courts. A further site near Cheshire Oaks launched in September with five indoor and two outdoor courts.

Their third opening in Speke was due to be the largest padel centre in the UK, but the owners of Ignite Padel have instead dropped two padel courts off the original plans to create more spectator space and room for academy and local community hub activities.

The latest Ignite Padel site on Stirling Road will now consist of six indoor courts and four outdoor covered courts, with the opening date now revealed.

The new site will officially open at 8.00am on Monday (December 1) and also feature a licensed bar and a specialised coffee shop, showing all of the Sky Sports and TNT Sports action, as well as a retail store.

Chris Watson, partner at Ignite Padel, said: “By the time we open next week we will have created over 60 full and part-time jobs since opening our first site on Queens Drive in Stoneycroft, in April this year.
