With members of the public able to book the said courts any time of the week.
Last Saturday, November 7, the Quezon City local government unit (LGU) led by Mayor Joy Belmonte officially opened two new pickleball courts at the Quezon Memorial Circle (QMC).
The sports facility, which has a size of 400 square meters, is open for free to the public from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Sunday. However, in order to main orderliness, a reservation system is being implemented.
The LGU said that those interested may reach out to the QMC Administration Office through its physical office along Elliptical Road, Diliman, 1100 Quezon City from Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm; hotline at 8731-8391; or via email at QMC@quezoncity.gov.ph
Prior to this, the Quezon City LGU also opened a 1,198-square-meter lawn tennis court and the city’s first and largest skate park, which are both located at the Quezon Memorial Circle.
Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport in the country, with the Philippine Pickleball Federation listing more than 78,000 players and 669 clubs nationwide. There are also 569 venues registered with the organization.
Aside from public parks like the Quezon Memorial Circle, other pickleball courts are located at converted warehouse spaces, malls, and other private establishments.
