Municipality of Le Crotoy delivers two covered padel courts in coastal zone
The municipality of Le Crotoy created two indoor padel courts with materials adapted to coastal conditions — fast, safe and fit for public use.
A sports facility built to withstand coastal conditions
In response to growing demand for accessible sport, the municipality of Le Crotoy commissioned the construction of two indoor padel courts near the French coastline.
The proximity to the sea presented additional challenges: salt, wind and changing weather conditions could all impact building quality over time. To ensure durability and ease of use, the municipality opted for a modular structure designed specifically for coastal environments.

What this meant for the municipality
Designed for public use in demanding environments
This project shows how municipalities can deliver modern sports facilities, even in technically challenging locations.
The use of corrosion-resistant materials and modular building methods ensured a safe, regulation-compliant facility that could be realised quickly and responsibly.
With minimal maintenance required and a long technical lifespan, the structure also supports sustainable public investment — aligned with long-term spatial planning.
A facility that strengthens local access to sport
The new courts are open for clubs, schools and recreational users. They provide residents with year-round access to an emerging sport, in a safe and protected setting — even just metres from the sea.
