Fylde tennis / Padel Tennis in the Park

The two Padel courts at Flyde tennis in Lytham are the first accessible ones in the North West of England, and a great addition to the beautiful Lowther gardens . Lowther Gardens, once home to numerous tennis courts, lay derilect and was and opened as part of a celebration the centenary of Fylde’s park in July2022. Why is ‘Mr Will To Win’ Steve Riley involved in opening up courts in the North West? Well he is originally from Blackpool, and lived in Fylde.

The Lowther Pavilion Theatre has a proud history of serving the Fylde Coast and surrounding areas as a cultural hub of community entertainment ever since its first opening in the 1920’s, and as we very much view Padel as community entertainment, what a great new addition this is to UK Padel
