New indoor padel facility in Waterford ‘starting to take shape’ as update issued
Padel W will be located in the Lacken Road Business Park in Waterford city
The construction of a new indoor padel facility in Waterford city is “starting to take shape”, the company behind the project has said.
The development, known as Padel W, will be located in the Lacken Road Business Park in Kilbarry.
Padel W issued an update on the development in a post on social media in recent days.
The caption read: “Things are starting to take shape at Padel W!
“We’ve got walls, we’ve got a roof… now we just need a few more finishing touches (okay maybe more than a few).
“Plenty happening behind the scenes as we get ready to bring padel to Waterford in 2027!”
The building will include two single courts and six double courts, as well as a reception area, coffee dock, shower facilities and changing facilities.
Planning permission was originally sought for the construction of a light industrial and storage unit at the location.
However, a revised planning application submitted in January requested a change of use from industrial to leisure use.
Construction has been underway on the project for several months now, with the facility expected to open early next year.
