Pikup Padel is launching its inaugural facility in the North East at Follingsby Park in Gateshead, featuring 11 courts for the rapidly growing racket sport. The 33,400 sq ft venue, secured on a 10-year lease, is set to open this summer and create jobs in coaching and operations. Managing director Paddy Kendall highlighted the site's alignment with the company's vision for padel.
Padel Up Tyneside, a new padel centre, has launched in Gateshead with two doubles courts, one singles court, a cafe, and a bar. The facility at Metro Riverside Park follows the success of a similar venue in Stockton. Founder Luke Rock highlighted the sport's accessibility for all ages during the opening on Friday.
