Devon's padel scene is booming from a low base, spread across the county's main towns rather than concentrated in one city. Padel (a racket sport played on an enclosed glass court) has landed strongly in Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay, with more courts arriving across the county. This guide rounds up where to play padel in Devon by town, with court counts, rates and booking details.

Where can you play padel in Exeter?

Exeter is Devon's padel capital. City Padel Exeter leads with six indoor courts at Hill Barton Business Park, plus a mezzanine viewing area, a pro shop and an on-site physio clinic - the most complete padel offer in the county. Woodbury Park Hotel & Golf Club adds two outdoor courts in a scenic setting just outside the city, and AS Watersports and the Devon & Exeter Squash Club round out the local options. With six indoor courts at City Padel alone, Exeter is the most reliable year-round base for padel in Devon.

Where can you play padel in Plymouth?

Padel United Plymouth is the city's main venue, with four outdoor courts at Marjon Sport & Health (PL6 8BH) - three for doubles plus the UK's first pay-and-play singles court. At roughly £8-£10 per hour it is one of the best-value places to play in the South West, with free parking, racket hire and a pro shop on site. The council also runs padel and pickleball courts at Central Park and Tothill Park for casual play.

Where can you play padel in Torquay and the rest of Devon?

On the English Riviera, the Riviera Centre in Torquay has been expanding its padel courts (from two towards four), and Torquay Tennis Centre has added courts too - handy for a game while visiting the bay. Inland, Sandford Tennis Club in Crediton has well-regarded padel facilities. Across the county, padel is appearing everywhere from Exeter to coastal hotspots like Torquay and Paignton, with around 16 courts in Devon and more on the way.

What do Devon courts cost and how do you book?

Devon offers some of the best-value padel in the country. Padel United Plymouth's £8-£10/hr is exceptionally cheap, while indoor courts at City Padel Exeter sit at a more typical £30-£40/hr at peak. Racket hire is usually £3-£5 per session where it is not already included.

Most Devon venues book through the Playtomic app, which handles court selection, payment and finding other players. Some tennis-club courts book through the LTA's Clubspark.
