Camella Covered Court

Shade without walls: Camella's three courts are covered — roofed, but open at the sides — on Emilio Vergara Hwy in Brgy Valle Cruz, Cabanatuan. For Central Luzon weather, that's a sensible middle ground.

It's a weekend venue, and an early one: Saturday and Sunday, 7am to 10am. Three hours, then done. ₱50 per person is well below the ₱150 directory median, so what you give up in hours you get back in price.

Cabanatuan lists three venues in all. Kalamandarin Pickleball Court and Smash Cabanatuan Badminton are both about four and a half kilometres from here, and Five-S Pickleball in Nueva Ecija around sixteen.
