Padel Tennis is one of the fastest growing sports globally. Mostly played in the doubles format, it is now established that Edinburgh Park where there are two covered courts available for use by occupiers and visitors, all bookable on the Edinburgh Park app.

Edinburgh Park is home to Edinburgh’s first purpose built Pickleball courts. While it resembles tennis and table tennis, pickleball has separate rules, paddles, and court dimensions. The paddle is larger than the one used in table tennis and the hard plastic ball produces less bounce than tennis balls. There were an estimated 4.8 million players in 2023.

As an integral part of the development, the mixed use games area offers tennis, 5-a-side football and basketball, along with covered padel tennis courts and fitness studio. This is in addition to informal facilities, for table tennis, walking, running, and cycling. As the park evolves, additional facilities will include a lido swimming pool and gym, along with more informal exercise areas.

We’re delighted to unveil the new play area beside Civic Square at 1 New Park Square. Designed by Swedish specialists HAGS, the space inspires play through thoughtful design. Children aged two and up can balance across stepping stones, spin on the Rota Roka, and climb geometric play cubes in a fun, imaginative setting.
