Court Safety Concerns – Please Read The ground was slippery this morning, making the courts extremely dangerous. Unfortunately, court maintenance appears to be nonexistent from the management. When asked, they claim it's safe to play, but they don’t play themselves to understand the real risks, especially around the baseline. Please be cautious and speak to a coach if you're unsure. The leaves on the court are large and scattered. If you slip while running over one, A&E might be your next stop. It feels like all they do is take money while showing little care for customer safety. Where is the management? Perhaps they could walk around the courts, do a proper tidy-up, and carry out a safety check. I genuinely love this place. The coaches and café staff are fantastic. Sadly, the reception area seems more focused on commission than customer care.

There is a cafe here with indoor and outdoor seating, just to the right of the gatehouse at the entrance to Hyde Park opposite Exhibition Road. It is open to anyone although it is part of a sports facility, and in our experience has been less busy than the cafes by the Serpentine. Service was quick, there is a reasonable selection of sandwiches and pastries, and the coffee was excellent.

Great place to play padel, it could be better if it was indoors/covered as when the pitch is a bit wet the grip is slightly loose but overall great place to meet friends. We went during the Iranian protests so it was difficult getting here and a lot of people but everything was safe and without problems.
