About The Pickle Lab.

Location

The Pickle Lab is on Battaramulla-Pannipitiya Road, set back from the main road and surrounded by greenery. It took over the courts that previously ran as The Pickle Island's Battaramulla branch.

The courts and facilities

Three covered indoor courts, so the midday heat and the monsoon stay out of the game. Paddles and balls are provided, and there's a large parking area on site.

Atmosphere

Relaxed and green, away from the city traffic. The staff are happy to walk first-timers through the basics, so it works for complete beginners as much as for regular players. Weekday evenings and weekends are the busiest stretches, so call ahead if you want one of those slots.

Frequently asked.

Call 074 166 9961 to check availability and reserve a court. The courts are busiest on weekday evenings and weekends, so booking ahead for those slots helps.
On Battaramulla-Pannipitiya Road in Battaramulla, set back from the main road and surrounded by greenery. There is a large parking area on site. It was previously The Pickle Island's Battaramulla branch.
LKR 3,000 per hour off peak, rising to LKR 4,500 at peak times such as weekday evenings and weekends. Split across four players in a doubles match, it works out affordable.
They are covered indoor courts, so you can play through the heat and the rain.
Very much so. The staff are happy to teach first timers the game, and paddles and balls are provided, so you can turn up without any gear.
