Leisure and community facility developments in Wales

Overview

Developments in the leisure and community sectors have been proposed across South Wales. In Cardiff, the DEPOT venue announced plans for a 25,000 sq ft indoor padel club, DEPOT Padel, which is scheduled to open in spring 2027. Simultaneously, Cardiff Council has proposed leasing land at Pontcanna Caravan Park and Pontcanna Fields to support community interests. These proposals include allowing the community interest company Sawna to develop a sauna facility and inviting sports groups to manage changing rooms at Pontcanna Fields.

In Porthcawl, Bridgend County Borough Council is seeking business interest for temporary leisure facilities at Coney Beach. Proposed interim attractions include padel courts, crazy golf, and surf lessons, intended to maintain seafront activity during long-term waterfront regeneration planning.
