Padel Courts in Cardiff
Seven verified open venues; 19 courts with confirmed counts
Cardiff and its surrounding area have seven venues verified as open for padel. Five of those venues publish a usable court count: Cardiff City House of Sport and Smash Padel Cardiff have six courts each, Unbound Padel has four, Pontyclun Padel has two, and Windsor Penarth LTC has one. That gives a conservative total of 19 confirmed open courts. Padium Cardiff Bay and David Lloyd Cardiff are also open, but their current court totals were not confirmed from the sources checked, so they are not added to the headline count. The directory covers Cardiff itself as well as nearby Penarth, Llantrisant and Pontyclun. It also labels announced venues separately so a planned facility is never presented as available to book.
