Councillor Alan Robins, cabinet member for sports, recreation and libraries at BHCC, said the authority was committed to improving sports facilities for everyone in the city and had received many messages of support for the proposed change.
He added: “We want all of these [facilities] to be inclusive and well-used.
“Padel is an incredibly inclusive sport and proving very popular and successful at helping people get active and stay healthy.”
Robins said the indoor tennis courts at Withdean were only in use “for around a third of the time” they were available.
He said the council appreciated the members’ concerns and wanted to “hear from them about how we can best use our leisure facilities to accommodate their needs”.
A decision will be confirmed after their meeting, he added.
