Portsmouth’s first dedicated venue
Before Padel Quarter, the closest dedicated padel centre we found was Padel4all at Fareham Leisure Centre, a four-court covered centre described in a Fareham Borough Council press release of 18 December 2025. Our Portsmouth padel guide covers Fareham, the planned Gosport courts and the Isle of Wight.
Who is behind it
The Portsmouth News described Padel Quarter as a family-run venture from Andrew Baxter, a former tennis and squash player. We could not re-read the article, so we have not repeated further biographical detail.
Planning for outdoor courts
The Portsmouth News also reported a planning application for three outdoor courts on the site’s car park, and said the council had raised concerns about noise, lighting and parking. We could not re-read the article or the application, so treat the outdoor courts as a proposal.
Booking
Padel Quarter books through the Padel Mates app or its own booking page. If you usually book through another app, check which one the venue uses before your first visit.
