A new indoor padel facility has opened in an old JJB Sports warehouse in Co Londonderry following a £50,000 investment.
Powerhouse Padel has launched at Hanover Place in Coleraine with the support of Investment Fund for Northern Ireland, managed by Whiterock.
The old warehouse was converted into five indoor padel courts by founders Elliott McKew and Simon Moutray.
A racket game, padel is one of the world's fastest growing sports, proving particularly popular with students and young professionals.
Powerhouse Padel is the first dedicated padel facility in the Causeway area and will provide court rental by the hour, seven days a week. It will also host padel tournaments, social nights, coaching sessions, and kids' camps during the school holidays.
Mr McKew said: "We're thrilled to open Powerhouse Padel in the heart of Coleraine. The cutting-edge padel centre features five premium indoor courts and will be a vibrant hub for the local community, offering opportunities for people of all ages and abilities."
Una Warnock, investment director at Whiterock, said: "We're proud to support Powerhouse Padel's exciting new venue in Coleraine through the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland. This marks a significant moment for the northwest, bringing a new and exciting sport to the region."
