Straits Pickle Club in Jurong East
With its meteoric rise in popularity in 2025, pickleball has officially joined the ranks of fitness fads that have enveloped the Singaporean masses in recent years. Much like how quickly pilates studios and bouldering gyms have sprouted all around the island, pickleball courts and facilities are also beginning to become mighty accessible to all due to the influx of new ones built.
But only one can lay claim to being the largest of its kind, and for now, that title goes to the newly opened facility at Jurong Play Grounds. Located in Jurong East, it not only houses a whopping 10 outdoor courts, but also hosts group lessons by Straits Pickle Club, as well as casual and competitive play sessions for all skill levels. Here’s all you need to know before you lace up for your games here.

Straits Pickle Club is located within Jurong Play Grounds, which is just a quick 7-minute walk from Jurong East MRT exit A. Alternatively, you can take the bus and alight at either the IMM Bldg (stop ID: 28659) or Opp IMM Bldg (stop ID: 28651) bus stops; some bus services that drop passengers off here include bus no. 52, 105, 188, 333, and 657. Afterwards, Straits Pickle Club is about a 6-minute walk away.
If you’re driving or riding in, you can park your vehicle at Jurong Play Grounds’ car park that charges $0.70/hour. However, visitors have noted that parking lots are limited, so if you can’t find any, you can head to IMM’s car park instead and walk over, as it’ll take you just 5 minutes.
What to expect at Straits Pickle Club?
Picklers living in the West, rejoice, as you can head right to the swanky new facility to clock in your weekly games. It’s the biggest pickleball facility on the Little Red Dot, and it houses 10 outdoor courts for you to smash, volley, and dink to your hearts’ content. Of these 10 courts, Straits Pickle Club operates 3 of them.

Although the courts here might be open-air, they’re fitted with sunshades overhead that provide some protection from the Sun, so you won’t get completely cooked during your games. However, you might still want to lather on some sunscreen of your own as the sunshades still allow in a moderate amount of sunlight.
It doesn’t completely block out the rain too, so make a beeline for indoor courts like SPH Pickle Padel if the itch to take to the court strikes when it’s storming.
Should you be a complete novice to the sport, fret not. Straits Pickle Club is extremely beginner-friendly; in fact, they even host 1-time Pickleball Clinic lessons which are just the thing for those who’ve yet to touch a paddle.
The coaching team consists of Dominic and Terence, both of whom are experienced picklers with years of competitive and coaching experience under their belt.

Right now, these 2 hour-long sessions are going at a discounted rate of $39/pax, and you’ll be taught all the basics of pickleball, from how to grip your paddles the right way to learning the rules of the game. They’ll even provide you with paddles, so you just need to come equipped with a good pair of trainers, comfy exercise attire, and an open mindset.

For those who’ve got the fundamentals down to a tee but would still like to sharpen their game, consider enrolling for their group lessons. A package of 4 sessions costs $250, while 8 sessions cost $440. Each lesson lasts 1.5 hours, and you’ll be grouped according to your skill level for the most optimal training progression. BTW, single lessons are also available, chargeable at $85/lesson.

If you can’t find enough kakis to rally with or would like to turn your sessions on court into a lil’ social activity, the club also has open play sessions ($20/pax) that you can drop in for. Currently, they’re hosting 2-hour sessions for players between the skill levels of novice and intermediate to sweat it out on court, which means you’ve got to at least know the rules of the sport and be able to hit the ball with some consistency.
For the competitive sort, they’ve got you covered too. They organise DUPR ranked sessions ($20/pax) as well, which are just the thing for players who’re serious about pitting their skills against their peers to rise up the ranks.
