David Ross Sports Village

David Ross Sports Village, situated on the University of Nottingham’s University Park Campus, is a premier sports hub welcoming both university members and the wider Nottingham public. The venue features dedicated outdoor padel courts constructed with tournament-specification synthetic turf, toughened glass surrounds, and clear LED floodlighting for year-round evening fixtures. Racket sports have a strong presence here, supported by an active community of local enthusiasts, student clubs, and regular social match-play groups. Players can easily organise friendly matches, participate in university-run mix-ins, or take part in organised leagues. Court bookings are managed seamlessly online through the University of Nottingham Sport booking platform or at the main reception desk, making it straightforward to secure court time across peak and off-peak hours.
