New Padel Courts Open in Estepona's Nueva Atalaya

Estepona is expanding its sports offerings with two new padel courts in Nueva Atalaya, opening on Thursday 8 October and featuring a local tournament

Residents in Estepona's Nueva Atalaya neighbourhood will soon have more options for staying active, as two new padel courts are set to open in the area. This expansion forms part of the town hall's ongoing commitment to increasing outdoor sports facilities and encouraging healthy lifestyles across the municipality.

The new facilities, located in the outskirts of the town, will be available to the public from Thursday 8 October 2026.

Opening Tournament Planned

To mark the inauguration of these new sports spaces, the San Cristobal neighbourhood association has organised a padel tournament for the same day, Thursday 8 October 2026, starting at 6:30 PM. Registration for the tournament is free and can be completed at Bar El Sitio in Centro Comercial Diana between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM.

Facility Details and Investment

The two new padel courts are situated on a plot of approximately 400 m². They will complement the existing sports facilities in the vicinity, which currently include one padel court and a multi-sport court used for five-a-side football, basketball, and other activities.

This project, which had a budget of €124,503.57 (VAT included), aims to broaden sports options, revitalise the area, and foster social integration through sport. The town hall states that this initiative continues to enhance the municipal sports offering and addresses the increasing demand for padel facilities in Estepona.

Municipal Strategy for Outlying Areas

This development is part of a wider municipal strategy focused on equipping outlying neighbourhoods with modern and functional infrastructure. The town hall is committed to providing quality facilities across all areas of Estepona, ensuring access to sport as a means to improve residents' health and well-being. This measure reinforces the municipal commitment to promoting physical activity as a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle, contributing to social cohesion and the sustainable development of the municipality.
