Playtime Padel Barking Riverside

About this club

The Wilds at Barking Riverside, on Northgate Road, hosts Playtime Padel's Barking courts, with cheap parking next door. Every booking includes rackets and balls, collected from a locker system, so nobody needs to bring kit.

Play is pay and play only, booked through Padel Mates with the app recommended, and Playtime says it deliberately kept things simple rather than adding a membership. Weekday daytime bookings from 9am to 5pm are cheaper than weekday evenings and weekends. Coaching is not yet running; Playtime describes lessons as coming shortly and a coach as the next phase.

There are no changing facilities. The courts ran on daylight hours only for the second half of September before the full schedule began on 1 October. The site's own listing puts the opening in September 2025, and Playtime's Dagenham court has moved here.
