Five verified open venues; 28 courts with confirmed counts
The Newcastle and North East directory has five verified open venues. Choose by the journey and court setting that work for you: Project Padel in Benton is the closest listed Newcastle option; Atmos Padel is in South Shields; Vallum is west of the city in Northumberland; and the larger True Padel venues are in Durham and Sunderland. Four venues publish usable court counts, producing a conservative total of 28 confirmed open courts. Vallum Padel is also verified open, but its official pages did not publish a court count, so it is excluded from the headline total. Pure Padel Gosforth is listed separately as announced because its operator page gives conflicting court totals and only a broad Winter 2026 opening window. Powerleague Gateshead remains under review and is withheld until court bookings are clearly live.

Is Pure Padel Gosforth open?
No. It remained an announced project when checked on 4 October 2026. The operator published conflicting court counts, so no planned total is included here.
Is Powerleague Gateshead open for court bookings?
Its profile listed five covered courts and classes but also said court bookings would go live. It is therefore held as status uncertain and excluded until operating evidence is unambiguous.
