About
If you're wandering around Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and spot the club signs, follow them – you'll find a gem. The four floodlit artificial grass courts (relaid in 2015) are perfect for year-round tennis, and the covered padel court, which opened in April 2023, is a game-changer for Edinburgh players. Best bit? You can hire rackets and balls for free, and the clubhouse has a café where you can watch the action. Membership gives you access to everything, but non-members can book the padel court as pay-and-play – just book via Clubspark or Playskan. The vibe is super friendly, with a strong community and regular coaching sessions for all ages.
