Soul Padel and Bolton School are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership to bring a top-tier padel facility to Bolton, transforming the School’s two disused shale courts at its Leverhulme Pavilion into a vibrant hub for this fast-growing sport. The planned facility will be accessible to both Bolton School students and the wider community, representing a significant investment in local sports and recreational amenities.
Soul Padel, a leader in expanding padel across the UK, is working with Bolton School to create an inclusive facility that aligns with both organisations’ commitment to community engagement and accessibility. The planning application for the proposed site is currently in progress, and local residents are encouraged to provide their feedback on the proposals during that consultation process.
Philip Britton, MBE, Head of Foundation at Bolton School, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: ‘We are delighted to work with Soul Padel to provide a fantastic new facility that will allow our pupils to experience one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. This new padel facility will also be open for community use in the evenings, at weekends, and during school holidays, creating an inclusive sporting environment for everyone. We value the feedback of our neighbours and look forward to reading their views about the project when the Bolton Council Planning portal opens for comment.’
If approved, the new padel centre will support both personal fitness and community engagement goals. By working together, Soul Padel and Bolton School aim to create a space where people can come together to meet, play, and connect through the sport of padel.
