Rocket Padel opened its debut site in Bristol at the end of April 2023, and included a Changing Places Toilet – making it more accessible for those with complex needs.
Padel is the fastest growing sport in the world and is a cross between tennis and squash – played on a court a third of the size of a tennis court and traditionally as doubles.
The new facility is the UK’s largest indoor padel centre, with 14 panoramic courts and the only 2 single courts in the country.
