Dulwich Padel Club

Work has started on 5 outdoor Padel Courts at Dulwich Sports Club, and we look forward to welcoming members to the new Dulwich Padel Club very soon.

We expect the work to be complete in August this year, and to officially open Dulwich Padel Club then.

Is there a waiting list / how long is it / how do I join the waiting list?
We currently have a list of over 1000 people who have expressed interest in joining DPC when the time comes. When membership is opened, we will invite people on this list to join in the order in which they were added to the list. We expect demand to be high, but it is unlikely that everyone who has put their name down will choose to go on to join the club.

I heard that Planning Permission has been granted – why is the opening so far off?
Planning in principle was granted in July 2025, but it has taken until this year to process all the administration for the conditions involved to turn that into the final “Decision Notice”, which we obtained in late February.
A number of pre-commencement conditions had to be fulfilled, which are now complete.
Following a renewed tender process, we appointed Trevor May contractors who started work at the end of April.
