ActiveSG Pickleball Courts in Singapore: How to Find and Book Them

If you have been curious about pickleball but don't want to spend $30 or $40 an hour to try it, ActiveSG courts are the answer. Pricing starts at $3.50 per hour off-peak — by far the cheapest pickleball in Singapore. Courts are spread across the island in sport halls, sport villages, school halls under the Dual-Use Scheme, and a handful of dedicated outdoor pickleball courts.

The exact list of bookable venues changes constantly — school halls open and close based on term schedules, holidays, and maintenance windows. Rather than try to maintain a static list (it would be wrong within a month), this guide walks you through how to find the live list yourself.

How to Find a Bookable ActiveSG Pickleball Court

The single source of truth for ActiveSG pickleball is the MyActiveSG+ app and website. There is no other reliable way to know what is bookable today.

1. Download MyActiveSG+ from the App Store or Google Play, or go to activesg.gov.sg/facility-bookings/activities 2. Log in with SingPass (Singapore residents, PRs, and citizens) 3. Search "pickleball" or filter facilities by sport 4. The list shows every venue currently offering pickleball — typically 25 to 35 locations at any given time 5. Pick a venue, pick a date, see live slot availability

Each venue listing shows whether slots are available within the next 14 days, plus a "View slots" button to drill into specific times.

Types of ActiveSG Pickleball Venues

The full ActiveSG pickleball footprint sits in three buckets:

Dedicated outdoor pickleball courts — purpose-built or converted spaces. The most prominent are:

ActiveSG Courts @ Farrer Park (8 courts, Little India Bus Terminal conversion, opened 2026)
ActiveSG Sport Village @ Jurong Town (4 outdoor courts, 2 International Road, fenced with stadium lighting)
The Kallang Hard Courts (6 outdoor courts, opened January 2026)
Choa Chu Kang Outdoor Courts
Sengkang Hockey Pitch & Outdoor Pickleball Courts
Bedok and Delta Outdoor Courts

These tend to have the most slots and the most predictable availability.

ActiveSG sport halls — indoor venues at established sport centres (Bukit Canberra, Jurong East, Yishun, Clementi, etc.). Pickleball typically shares time with badminton and other sports.

School halls (Dual-Use Scheme) — primary and secondary school halls released to the public outside school hours. This is where most of the 30+ venue count comes from. Examples: Anderson Secondary, CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent, Damai Secondary, Loyang View, Pasir Ris Primary, Yangzheng Primary. Availability is term-dependent — school holidays usually open more slots.

How Much Do ActiveSG Courts Cost?

Pricing varies by venue type but the band is narrow:

Off-peak: $3.50 to $4.50 per hour
Peak: $7 to $9 per hour

Off-peak is generally weekday mornings and early afternoons. Peak covers evenings and weekends — when most people actually play, which is why peak slots require a ballot (see below).

At $3.50 per hour split between four players for doubles, you are looking at less than a dollar each. Cheaper than a cup of kopi.

How the Booking System Works

Two different systems depending on the slot:

Off-peak slots (weekday mornings to early afternoons) are first-come, first-served. They open 12 days in advance at 12am on the booking date. Refresh the app at midnight 12 days ahead, click your slot, pay, done.

Peak slots (weekday evenings and weekends) require a ballot. Submit a ballot entry between 12am and 11.59pm on the date 14 days before your target. Results are released the next day at noon. If you win the ballot, you get the slot. If you don't, try again — or settle for off-peak.

Payment is online via the MyActiveSG+ wallet (top up first) or direct via PayNow.

You need a SingPass to book, so the system is closed to short-term visitors. Visitors can play if a SingPass-holder books on their behalf.

What to Expect at the Court

These are no-frills facilities. Outdoor courts are hard surfaces with proper pickleball nets and lines. Indoor (sport halls and school halls) are typically badminton-court-sized spaces with portable nets. No equipment rental — bring your own paddle and balls.

Singapore weather is the main variable with outdoor courts. Afternoons can be brutally hot, and sudden rain showers are common. Morning slots before 10am and evening slots after 5pm are the most comfortable times to play. If weather is a real concern, indoor venues like The Kallang or Smash Zone Tampines are the climate-controlled fallback.

Are ActiveSG Courts Good for Beginners?

Yes. The low cost removes the financial barrier to trying the sport, and you will not feel pressured to make the most of an expensive booking. If you can rope in three friends who are also curious about pickleball, you can have a doubles game for under $2 each during off-peak.

The one downside for complete beginners is the lack of coaching or structured programs at ActiveSG venues. If you want lessons, start at a venue with coaching like Performance Pickleball in Sengkang, then use ActiveSG courts for regular practice sessions once you know the basics.

The Bottom Line

ActiveSG pickleball courts are the most affordable way to play in Singapore. The trade-off is variable availability — venues come and go from the booking system as schools open and close to public access — so always check MyActiveSG+ for the live list rather than relying on any static guide (including this one).
