WORK has begun on new padel tennis courts in Lichfield.

The facility is being built at Beacon Park by Fosse Contracts on behalf of Lichfield District Council.

The courts are being constructed on the northern side of the golf course, close to the pedestrian entrance to Morrisons and the Greenhough Road car park. They are scheduled to open in August, with players able to book them until 9pm each day.

Cllr Andy Smith, deputy leader and cabinet member for leisure and major projects at the district council, said:

> “We are pleased to see work now underway on these new padel courts at Beacon Park.  
>  
> “This investment reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, accessible leisure facilities for our communities.  
>  
> “Padel is a rapidly growing sport that is easy to pick up and brings people together in a fun and active way. These new courts will offer something for everyone, whether you are trying it for the first time or are a regular player.  
>  
> “This is an important part of our wider plans to enhance Beacon Park as a destination for residents and visitors alike, supporting healthier lifestyles and increasing opportunities to be active.”
