Padel Courts in Aberdeen (2026): Where to Play
Where to play padel in Aberdeen in 2026: Strikers Indoor Padel, Aberdeen Tennis Centre and the KORTA pop-up, plus costs, booking and how to start.
Padel (an enclosed-court racket sport played in doubles, explained in full on Wikipedia) has taken hold in Aberdeen, and crucially for the north-east climate, most of its courts are covered or indoor. This guide covers where to play in Aberdeen in 2026, what it costs, how to book, and how to get started.
Which are the main Aberdeen padel venues?
Strikers Indoor Padel - the only fully indoor padel facility in Aberdeen and the whole of north-east Scotland, with two enclosed panoramic glass courts at the Strikers centre in Bridge of Don. Pricing is around £24 per hour off-peak, rising toward £30 at peak times, booked through the Strikers website. The most weather-proof option in the city.
Aberdeen Tennis Centre - two covered outdoor courts in Westburn Park, home to Aberdeen Padel Club's competitive programme. Court hire runs roughly £19.50 to £26 per hour, booked via ClubSpark, and monthly membership of around £37 to £39.50 includes up to an hour of daily court time plus classes.
KORTA - a padel-and-wellness pop-up running at Curl Aberdeen from April to September 2026, with four high-quality indoor courts plus pilates and a relaxed social space. Prices are around £30 to £40 per hour, booked via Playtomic. A great option while it lasts, but check it is still open before travelling.
David Lloyd Aberdeen - padel courts within the David Lloyd health club, aimed at members rather than casual pay-and-play visitors.
Indoor or outdoor padel in Aberdeen?
Aberdeen is unusually well set up for all-weather play, which matters in the north-east. Strikers is fully indoor, the KORTA pop-up is indoor for its run, and even Aberdeen Tennis Centre's outdoor courts are covered. That means you can almost always find a dry court somewhere in the city, a real advantage over scenes that rely on open-air courts. For guaranteed year-round play, Strikers is the safest bet.
What do Aberdeen courts cost and how do you book?
Aberdeen is reasonably priced. Aberdeen Tennis Centre is the cheapest at around £19.50 to £26 per hour, Strikers sits near £24 to £30, and the KORTA pop-up runs £30 to £40. Split between four players, any of these is an affordable game. Booking is fragmented: Strikers uses its own website, Aberdeen Tennis Centre uses ClubSpark, and KORTA uses Playtomic, so you may need more than one account. Most venues hire rackets and sell balls, so you can turn up and play before buying your own gear.
How do you get started with padel in Aberdeen?
Pick a venue
Start with Strikers for guaranteed indoor play, or Aberdeen Tennis Centre for the cheapest covered courts and an active club programme.
Set up the right booking account
Aberdeen's venues use different systems: the Strikers website for Strikers, ClubSpark for Aberdeen Tennis Centre, and Playtomic for KORTA. Create the account for the venue you want before you try to book.
Hire a racket if you need one
You do not need your own gear to start. Most Aberdeen venues rent bats and sell balls on site, so a first session costs little more than the court fee.
Bring three friends or join the club
Padel is doubles only, so you need four players. Aberdeen Padel Club at the Tennis Centre runs sessions and a competitive programme that make it easy to find a game.
