Three padel courts to open at Tipton Sports Academy

Plans have been approved for three padel courts at Tipton Sports Academy in Tipton, West Midlands.

Set to open in April 2025, the courts will be among the first in the area and will add to the existing range of racket sports – including indoor tennis, badminton and squash – at the venue.

Tipton Sports Academy is owned by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and is operated by Sandwell Leisure Trust (SLT).

According to SLT CEO, Mark Braithwaite, the courts form part of SLT’s mission to provide accessible and affordable facilities to the community.
