Coventry City Council is inviting experienced developers and operators of padel tennis to apply to take on a commercial lease to offer the sport in two key locations – War Memorial Park and Longford Park.
This exciting opportunity will see the successful applicant awarded a 15-year commercial lease at each site, subject to negotiation. The leases will cover each site for permitted use as padel courts, with the addition of food and beverage provision at Longford Park.
The Council seeks proposals from operators who can design, build and operate a minimum of four courts at each site. Applicants are encouraged to include Go CV pricing offer as part of their community access provisions.
War Memorial Park and Longford Park offer excellent opportunities to bring this rapidly growing sport to Coventry residents and visitors.
