Padel is coming to Willen Lake!

Willen Lake Serves Up Six Brand-New Padel Courts with UK PADEL 

Following the approval of planning permission for a new purpose-built padel facility, Willen Lake and UK PADEL are proud to announce six brand-new padel courts opening this year.               

Located within the much-loved park at Willen Lake in Milton Keynes, the new courts will enhance the area’s mix of activities and social spaces. Easy to access and set within an open, welcoming environment, it’s a natural home for padel - a fun, social sport for players of all ages and abilities.  

The new padel facility is set to offer a unique outdoor padel venue in Milton Keynes, featuring four covered courts and two open-air courts, meaning the courts will be open all year long. The complex will feature doubles and singles courts, making them particularly appealing to those new to the sport or looking to meet other players.   

When the courts open, players will be able to take part in daily social mix-in sessions. Led by UK PADEL, these sessions are designed for players of all levels and aim to help build confidence, develop skills, and most importantly connect people through play.   

The addition of padel courts further enhances Willen Lake as a destination that brings together sport, leisure and nature. With walking trails, water sports, cafés and open green spaces already attracting families, couples and individuals throughout the year, padel will add another exciting way for people to enjoy the park. 

Willen Lake has always been about bringing people together through activity, nature and shared experiences. Partnering with UK Padel allows us to introduce an exciting new sport in a way that feels open, welcoming and accessible. These courts will strengthen Willen Lake’s position as a key destination for everyone in Milton Keynes and beyond.

When the courts open, bookings will follow the UK Padel model, with non-members able to book courts up to six days in advance. Players who choose to become annual members will be able to book courts up to 21 days in advance at a reduced rate. 

As padel continues to grow in popularity across the UK, its arrival at Willen Lake will give people in and around Milton Keynes a new and exciting way to get active, social and try something different in a familiar outdoor setting.
