Dinker's & Drinker's Dugout Sports Center

Three covered courts on Oliveros Drive in Balintawak, open 8am to 10pm seven days a week. Paddles can be rented on site, and there are hot and cold showers — a rarity at this size, and worth knowing if you are playing before work.

One thing to be clear about before you go: this is a court-rental venue, not an open-play one. You book the court rather than paying a per-head session fee and joining a rotation, so it suits a group that already has four than a solo player hoping to be slotted in. Being covered rather than fully indoor, it stays playable in rain but is open to the air.

The ₱600 hourly rate comes from an operator listing we have not independently confirmed — worth checking on the number above when you book.

Worth knowing: this is a quiet corner of Quezon City for pickleball. Picklebola Court is 2.2 km away at ₱450 an hour, and Philam Homes West Avenue 2.9 km at ₱600.
