Padel Tree Harlow

Padel Tree Harlow is an outdoor padel club at Paringdon Rd, Harlow CM19 4QT, UK, with four outdoor panoramic courts at The Body Factory Gym. Every court is booked on Playtomic, and the club opens every day of the week from 8am.

Because the courts sit at The Body Factory Gym, you can finish a workout and walk straight onto court. That makes Padel Tree Harlow an easy fit for gym regulars, and a simple first stop for anyone in Harlow who wants to try padel without a long trip.

Court hire is pay and play through Playtomic, with cheaper off-peak rates on weekday mornings and early afternoons. Rackets and balls are available to hire, parking is free, and there is a snack bar for a drink or a bite between games.

The padel courts

Padel Tree Harlow has four courts, and all four are outdoor. Each is a panoramic doubles court, so the glass walls give a clear, open view of play and keep the space feeling bright. There are no indoor courts at the venue.

As the courts are outdoor, the weather plays its part, especially through the colder months. Book a slot that suits the forecast, dress in layers on cooler days, and bring a spare dry towel for the grip if conditions turn damp.

Panoramic glass suits newer players and spectators alike, since the ball stays visible as it comes off the walls. With four courts on one site, larger groups can book courts side by side and rotate partners across a longer session.

Booking and access

Every court at Padel Tree Harlow is booked online through Playtomic, which shows live availability and takes payment for the slot. Booking is open to the public, so there is no need to be a gym member to play. All prices below are per court.

Off-peak, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm: £30 for 60 minutes, £45 for 90 minutes. Peak, Monday to Friday 4pm to 10pm: £40 for 60 minutes, £60 for 90 minutes.

Weekend, Saturday 8am to 8pm: £40 for 60 minutes, £60 for 90 minutes. Weekend, Sunday 8am to 6pm: £40 for 60 minutes, £60 for 90 minutes.

Peak court hire starts from £40 per court for an hour, which works out at £10 per player when four share the court. The weekday off-peak window is the cheapest time to play, at £30 per court for an hour.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 10pm, Saturday 8am to 8pm and Sunday 8am to 6pm. Parking on site is free, and the venue has disabled access.

Rackets and balls can be hired at the venue, or added to a booking in the Playtomic app under Extras. That means you can arrive with nothing but trainers and still play, which helps first timers and visitors who have not brought their own kit.

Padel programme and social

Intro sessions run as Intro To Padel on Fridays from 9am to 10am at Harlow. The session is a gentle first step for anyone who has never played, covering the basics in a relaxed setting before you book a court of your own.

Weekly social padel runs for all levels, with mixed levels, rotating partners and 90 minutes of play, all booked on Playtomic. The motto is simple: turn up alone and you will still play, so you do not need a regular group of four to join in.

Socials are the easiest way to meet other players at the club. Rotating partners mean you play with and against several people in one session, which builds a list of contacts for future games and helps you find opponents at your level.
