Howard Park Development

We are excited about our development at Howard Park which will provide tennis, padel and pickleball courts to the local community.  A "smart gate" will allow members of the public to book courts online and access the facility using a one-time code.  The courts will be floodlit which will allow year-round play.

This development would not have been possible without the support of East Ayrshire Council, the Place Based Investment Programme, ScottishPower Renewables, sportscotland, EB Scotland and the LTA.

We are hopeful of opening the venue in June.

What is padel?

Padel is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, particularly popular in South America, Spain and Scandinavia.  It is a racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash, played on an enclosed court 10m wide and 20m long.

What is pickleball?

Pickleball is a racket sport that is a mixture of tennis, badminton and table tennis.  It is played on a court similar in size to badminton with a modified tennis net.  It is hugely popular in the United States.
