Players at Castle Padel Group

ABOUT CASTLE PADEL GROUP

Wakefield's newest padel destination — premium outdoor courts, expert coaching, and a vibrant community at Sandal Rugby Club. Opening June 2026.

WAKEFIELD'S HOME OF PADEL

Castle Padel Group was born from a simple belief: Wakefield deserves a world-class padel destination. Located at Sandal Rugby Club, we are building four premium outdoor panoramic courts alongside outdoor social space, café and bar facilities, and free parking.

Whether you are picking up a racket for the first time or competing in our leagues and tournaments, Castle Padel is designed to be your club — a place to play, improve, and connect with the growing padel community in West Yorkshire.

From structured coaching and junior programmes to corporate days and social round-robins, we are creating something for every player. Our opening in June 2026 marks the start of a new chapter for padel in Wakefield.
