Hanoi

We list six pickleball venues in Hanoi. Tay Ho has the most, with Smash Zone, Hippi Pickleball Club and Pink Pickleball Club all in the West Lake area. Elsewhere are the Cau Giay Pickleball Complex at the Cau Giay district sports centre, My Dink 5 Pickleball in My Dinh, Nam Tu Liem, and an indoor hotel court at Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake in Ba Dinh.

Hippi and Pink are outdoor clubs, and Hippi has 8 courts, as does My Dink 5. Smash Zone is indoor and air-conditioned, with drop-in group sessions at VND 60,000 per person. Court hire starts from VND 100,000 per court per hour at Hippi and Cau Giay, VND 130,000 at Pink and VND 150,000 at My Dink 5. The Dolce court is free for hotel guests.

Coaching is available at most of the clubs, and Cau Giay is a regular host of Hanoi tournaments. Hanoi has a cool winter and a hot, humid summer, so indoor courts such as Smash Zone are worth considering in the summer months, and early mornings are best for outdoor play.
