Heriot-Watt University Sport and Exercise

Set on the Riccarton campus in Currie, Heriot-Watt University Sport and Exercise provides Edinburgh with dedicated indoor padel facilities. Operating in partnership with Scotland's national sports performance environment, the venue delivers courts fitted with textured synthetic turf, regulation glass walls, and overhead LED lighting that ensures sharp visibility throughout the year. The atmosphere is energetic and unpretentious, bringing together university students, local racket sport enthusiasts, and competitive players. You can join organised social mix-ins, local ladder leagues, or simply book a court for casual match play with friends. Court reservations are managed online via the university sports booking portal, making slots accessible to both registered members and pay-and-play public visitors. With extensive changing facilities and an on-site cafe for post-match debriefs, the centre serves as a primary hub for Edinburgh's growing padel community.
