Jesus Green

Set alongside the River Cam in Cambridge's central parkland, the padel courts at Jesus Green provide a public hub for the city's racket sports players. Located on the recreation ground adjacent to the historic lido, the venue features outdoor panoramic padel courts surfaced with sand-dressed synthetic turf and equipped with LED floodlights for evening fixtures. The setup brings together university students, local residents, and commuters for social match play, casual friendlies, and competitive box leagues. Court access operates through an online pay-and-play booking system, removing the barrier of mandatory annual memberships and keeping the sport open to the wider public. Benefiting from the open green surroundings and direct proximity to the historic city centre, the facility combines straightforward access with an active outdoor community atmosphere year-round.
