Vida Del Padel (VDP) will bring five brand new padel courts—including four for doubles and one for singles—straight to Unit 1 Navigation Yard, with doors set to open in November.

The Wakefield venue will include male and female changing facilities with showers, air conditioning throughout, and a bar and café serving soft drinks, coffee, cakes and snacks.

A lounge and social area will provide space for players and visitors before and after sessions, while the venue will also feature a media wall and free parking at both the front and rear of the site.

The launch comes during a major period of expansion for Vida Del Padel, which has grown rapidly since opening its first venue in Lincoln.

The new club will also feature a bar and café, lounge and social area, changing facilities and free parking, alongside a full programme of coaching and social sessions for everyone from complete beginners to experienced players.

Jan Skrzypkowski, Co-Founder of Vida Del Padel, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing Vida Del Padel to Wakefield.

"Community has always been at the heart of what we do, and combining padel with Reformer Pilates allows us to give people even more reasons to spend time at the club.

" It also helps us reach a broader audience, welcoming people who may never have played padel before into the Vida community and hopefully inspiring them to pick up a racket too.”
