Public courts for the sport of padel will open under Singapore's iconic Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, offering free access to residents and visitors. The initiative, launched by UBS and Gardens by the Bay, marks the city-state's first padel facility. The courts will be available on the West Lawn from 19 September to 11 October 2026.

The move aims to promote physical activity and introduce the sport to a wider audience. Padel, a fast-paced racket sport played on a smaller court, has gained popularity in recent years. The free access is part of a broader effort to make sports more accessible.

The event is expected to attract local players and tourists interested in trying the game. With the courts located in a high-traffic area, the initiative also seeks to encourage community engagement. No further details on future plans were announced.
