Two brand-new indoor covered padel courts are arriving in Cinderford in the heart of the Forest of Dean. These padel courts are built end to end, to the side of the rugby pitch including a canopy structure with retractable sliding walls to ensure the courts can be used throughout the year. Construction is underway and we’re excited to welcome players from mid to late September 2026.
