Padel Courts

Plans to refurbish Odd Down Sports Ground in Bath have been approved by the local council after proposals for padel courts were removed. The project includes a pavilion extension for a gym, a mini cycle track, and improved lighting for the 3G pitch. The decision follows earlier rejections due to concerns over noise from the emerging sport.

The Western Cape High Court has granted interim relief to LivPadel Knysna Hollow, halting a municipal decision to close its padel courts over noise complaints. The order suspends enforcement until a full review, allowing the facility to reopen during the peak holiday season. This development comes amid ongoing financial pressures on the Knysna Municipality.
