Padel firm serves up second base in expansion

A leisure operator is set to serve up a “championship-level” sporting endeavour.

Ignite Padel is opening a multi-court base at Cheshire Oaks.

Bosses say the 24-hour site will include five indoor and two outdoor spaces to play padel, which is played with a tennis-like ball and paddles.

Based off the M53, the base is set to open in August.

It will build on a six-floodlit outdoor court hub in Liverpool, which opened earlier this year.

A spokesperson said: “Cheshire Oaks is a major focal point for the whole area, and millions of people head there every year, so it gives us a wide reach into Cheshire, Wirral and Liverpool in the winter months. 

“The nearest indoor club is currently at the Trafford Centre, so players are having to travel from Liverpool and further afield.

“Having the indoor and outdoor courts will give us greater flexibility and allow us to host top-level tournaments.”
