A planning application has been submitted to install four new outdoor padel courts on the former bowling green at Aigburth People’s Hall (APH) in South Liverpool.

The project proposes to transform the disused bowling green at the rear of APH into a “modern padel facility”, complete with LED court lighting and landscaped surroundings. A new pedestrian entrance is also included in the plans, allowing access to the new courts from Mossley Hill Drive (Sefton Park).

Coaching and beginner sessions will be offered, alongside social play, a club league, community tournaments and events.

A spokesperson for the project says: “We believe the site at Aigburth People’s Hall is an ideal location to bring padel to the local community, creating a new space for sport, fitness and social activity.

“The aim is to create a welcoming environment where people can enjoy padel while maintaining the community spirit of Aigburth People’s Hall.”

If the proposed development receives planning approval, APH Padel Club will invite a limited number of players to become ‘Founding Members’, forming the initial group who will help “establish the club and shape the future of padel at Aigburth People’s Hall”.

Those interested in the new courts can sign up to the APH Padel Club mailing list at: www.aigburthpeopleshall.co.uk/register/
