Metro Manila has more places to play pickleball than most players realize, and the options now include a proper court in the City of Manila itself. The harder part is knowing which venue suits you: a free barangay court, a covered hall in Quezon City, an air-conditioned hub in Malate or a premium court at a hotel. This guide pulls the venues I could verify across Quezon City, Manila, Marikina, Valenzuela, Parañaque and the south, with their published rates, hours and photos of the actual courts.
It is a research guide, not a visit report. I have not played at these venues, and every rate and hour comes from published listings, mainly published venue guides from 2026, including an 8List guide from July 2026, and the Sparrk booking site. Prices change often, so confirm with the venue before you go. Photos are credited under each picture, and I will remove any on a venue’s request.
How to choose a court
- Pick your area first. Traffic makes crossing the metro a bad idea.
- Decide indoor or outdoor. Air-conditioned courts are cooler and rain-proof, and cost more.
- Rent a court or join open play. Renting suits a group of four, and open play suits solo players.
- Check hours. Some venues open only in the afternoon, and some close on certain days.
- Ask about extras. Facility fees, paddle rental and reservation fees can change the real price.

Quezon City: the biggest scene
Quezon City has more pickleball courts than any other city in the metro, and the range is wide. PickleBoard counts 79 courts, from mall courts at Ayala Malls Fairview Terraces and hospital-campus courts to converted badminton halls and dedicated venues. Free and near-free public courts exist alongside indoor courts at about ₱300 an hour, which is lower than Makati or BGC prices.
SPS Pickleball is a covered hall with green court surfacing and portable nets, as the photos show, and Sparrk lists rentals in Quezon City from about ₱300 to ₱350 an hour. Pickleheads lists six indoor acrylic courts for it. It is one of the four venues Sparrk lists for Quezon City, along with Higher Ground, Calle Pickle House and Prime Mobility Sports and Recreation Center.
Neopolitan Brittany Pickleball Club is the volume option: ten indoor hard courts with a rubber cushion layer and a silica-sand acrylic top coat, at ₱300 an hour, open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM. Because it closes at 5 PM, it suits daytime players and not after-work sessions.
Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) has three outdoor hard courts with permanent lines and nets, at ₱150 per player, open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM. It has grown into one of the most active community hubs in the city.
Solaire Resort North has an open-air Outdoor Fitness Deck on Level 7 at Vertis North with a professional-grade surface, equipment rentals and coaching. It is the pricey option, at ₱1,200 an hour for walk-ins and ₱1,000 for in-house guests, plus a ₱500 non-refundable reservation fee.
Other Quezon City venues named in the 8List guide include TAGS Pickleball, with four courts, private rentals from ₱350 to ₱500 an hour and open play at ₱250 per head. 8List says it is open 24/7, but ReClub lists daily hours of 6 AM to midnight, so call before a late-night trip. 8List also lists Kalaro Pickleball in New Manila at ₱650 on weekdays and ₱750 on weekends plus a ₱100 access pass, though I could not find Kalaro in the other directories I checked.
The City of Manila: Paddiemates in Malate
Manila has fewer courts, but Paddiemates Pickleball Hub is a proper one. It is on the fifth floor of Adriatico Square in Malate and has three air-conditioned, cushioned acrylic courts, a cafe, showers and lockers. Basement parking is a flat ₱60 for the first four hours. Court rental is ₱800 an hour from noon to 6 PM, and open play is ₱400 per head from 6 to 10 PM, with the hub open daily from noon to 10 PM.
Marikina and the east
Dink & Shot in Majestic Subdivision, Marikina, has six indoor professional-grade courts, a pro shop and a cafe. Courts cost ₱600 an hour for up to ten players, and a set of two paddles and two balls rents for ₱250 an hour. It is open Thursday to Monday from 10 AM to 10 PM.
SM City Marikina, SM City Sta. Mesa and SM City Bicutan have permanent pickleball courts at ₱450 an hour, with open play at ₱250 per head. Hours differ by mall: Sta. Mesa runs 1 to 10 PM, Bicutan 2 to 11 PM and Marikina 10 AM to 10 PM. 8List also lists Vantage Pickleball Court in Marikina with seven USAPA-standard courts open from 9 AM to midnight, at ₱500 to ₱700 an hour plus a ₱100 facility fee.
Valenzuela and Caloocan
The Smash City in Valenzuela has LED lighting, professional-grade surfaces and courts built to USA Pickleball standards, and it is one of the cheapest options, at ₱200 to ₱400 an hour for open play and private play depending on peak hours. It is open daily from 7 AM to midnight. In Caloocan, 8List lists Match Grounds with two courts at ₱450 an hour and beginner sessions at ₱250 per head.
Parañaque and the south
The Pickle Yard in Sun Valley, Parañaque has acrylic courts at ₱500 an hour for up to four players, with paddle rentals at ₱100 an hour, and it has branches in Dasmariñas, Bacoor and Mandaluyong. Its Parañaque branch is open Monday to Friday from 7 AM to midnight.
Bounce at Parqal in Aseana City has three outdoor courts that share surfaces with basketball and volleyball, plus showers and lockers, at ₱1,250 to ₱1,750 an hour depending on peak times. It is open daily from 6 AM to 11 PM.
In Muntinlupa, 8List lists Pickleball Hub PH with six indoor hard courts at ₱800 an hour for up to eight players, and open play from 6 to 10 PM at ₱400 per player. Baseline Pickleball Hub in Taguig and The Picklespot in Makati also appear in 8List with rates of ₱700 an hour and ₱280 to ₱300 for open play, though I could not find either in the directories I checked, so verify them before you go.
Just outside Metro Manila
Quest Adventure Camp in Teresa, Rizal is outside the metro but a popular weekend trip, with six cushioned USAP-standard courts at ₱400 an hour without lights and ₱600 with lights, open Tuesday to Sunday from 8 AM to 7 PM.
What an hour on court costs per player
A rental rate looks higher than it is until you divide it by four. A court at ₱300 an hour is ₱75 per player. A court at ₱600 an hour is ₱150 each. Paddiemates at ₱800 an hour is ₱200 each, and Solaire at ₱1,200 an hour is ₱300 each before the reservation fee. Open play is simpler, at ₱150 to ₱400 per player, and it includes the chance to meet other players.
How to book
- Sparrk: a booking site that lists courts in Quezon City, with peak and off-peak rates.
- Pickleheads and PickleBoard: directories with listings and hours, though some pages are out of date.
- ReClub and Facebook groups: where many venues post sessions and sign-ups.
- The venue’s own page: many take bookings through Facebook or Instagram messages.
Book ahead for evenings and weekends, and ask what happens if it rains at an outdoor court.
Open play etiquette
- Arrive on time and sign up as the venue requires.
- Respect the rotation, and do not hold a court for friends.
- Ask for a game at your level.
- Wear non-marking shoes indoors.
- Call lines honestly and keep the score clear.
- Tidy up your balls and trash.
What to bring
Bring a paddle, a spare ball, water, a towel and court shoes. Many venues rent paddles for about ₱100 an hour, which is a good way to try a few before buying. My guides to beginner paddles, visors, hats and towels and backpacks cover the basics, and the shoe guide explains why court shoes matter.
My picks
- Best for volume and value: Neopolitan Brittany Pickleball Club, Quezon City (₱300/hr, ten courts).
- Best in Manila: Paddiemates Pickleball Hub, Malate.
- Cheapest per player: VMMC (₱150 per player) or The Smash City (₱200–400/hr).
- Best for a group: Dink & Shot, Marikina (up to ten players).
- Best premium: Solaire North, Quezon City.
If you run a court or know one that should be listed, tell me and I will add it. Prices and hours change often, so call before you travel.
