The Nook guide — Sport
Where to play padel in NI.
Padel is officially Northern Ireland's fastest-growing sport — easy to pick up, brilliant fun, and there are new courts opening all the time. Here's where to play, by area.
New to padel? A few things worth knowing
What it is — doubles tennis-meets-squash, played on an enclosed court. Genuinely easy to pick up on day one, and very social.
Kit — just bring trainers; most clubs hire or lend rackets and supply balls.
Cost — usually around £10–£16 a person for an hour (a court is split between four).
New player? — most clubs run beginner socials and coaching — a great way to start and meet people.
Always check — book ahead; courts fill fast on evenings and weekends. Confirm details with the club — Nook links you straight to each one.
