Padel Tennis Opportunity
Wyre Council is excited to announce a new opportunity for developers and operators to bring the fast-growing sport of padel tennis to Poulton-le-Fylde.
We are inviting expressions of interest for the development of two padel courts with floodlighting on a designated plot of land at The Eagles, subject to planning approval. The site is ideally located in a leisure-focused area adjacent to Moorland Tennis Club, Poulton Golf Club, and Poulton Leisure Centre, making it a prime location for this exciting new sporting facility.
What We’re Looking For
Interested developers and operators are asked to submit an initial business plan that includes:
- Site layout and design
- Funding proposals and sources
- Operational model and community engagement strategy
Wyre Council is particularly keen to hear from local companies with a proven track record in padel court development and management. Proposals should align with the Wyre Moving More strategy, promoting active lifestyles for all residents.
Proposals Should Demonstrate:
- Strong community engagement and partnership working
- Clear social return on investment
- Sustainability credentials
- Integration with existing facilities in the area
Operators will be encouraged to offer:
- Discounts for members of adjacent clubs and leisure centres
- Pay-and-play options
- Concessions for people on low incomes, with disabilities, or long-term health conditions
