About Padel Parx Wigan
Padel Parx Wigan is a community-focused padel operator at The Cotton Works, the restored 18th-century mill at Wigan Pier. The venue opened July 2025 with three Padel Alba Panoramic Courts - two doubles and one singles - set against historic terracotta brick with LED floodlighting for evening play.
The courts
All three courts are outdoor on synthetic grass with LED floodlighting. Floodlights run until 22:00 daily. The courts sit on the grounds of The Cotton Works heritage site, giving a distinctive backdrop. The dedicated singles court is unusual for the UK market.
Booking and access
Book online via Playtomic. Off-peak rates start from £15 per hour, peak rates reach £36 per hour. The venue offers racket and ball hire, a changing room, disabled access, free parking and a snack bar on site.
Programme and social
The operator runs a community-padel model: Community Padel Partners can buy and gift court time to local schools, charities and community groups. Padel Parx partners with Wigan Youth Zone, Community Grocer and the Rebuild with Hope Foundation. In-house coaches run group lessons, beginner sessions and 1-to-1 sessions.
Best for
Community-minded players seeking grassroots padel with a social edge. The venue is welcoming to beginners through structured lessons and a non-intimidating environment. Evening play under lights runs daily until 22:00, and the Community Padel Partner scheme makes the courts accessible to local schools and charities for free or subsidised sessions.
