10-court padel facility proposed for Surrey campus

University of Surrey (UoS) has announced plans to build new padel facilities at its sports campus in Guildford. The proposals for Surrey Sports Park consist of 10 covered padel courts, including a show court for elite tournaments. It will also contain a large clubhouse, a cafe, a bar, an extensive social area, and a retail offering.

UoS says it will be the biggest padel facility in Surrey and in the higher education sector, subject to planning permission.

The university is partnering with PadelStars to develop the new facility, which is planned to open in 2026.

Andy Knee, PadelStars CEO, said: “Surrey Sports Park (SSP) is a great partner for us: with a very large number of students on-site, many thousands of members, a broad multi-sport offer and a really progressive team of people driving SSP forward, we know that together we will create an incredibly vibrant home for padel in Guildford and beyond.”
