The Pickle Grounds
“Two courts in separate units on the 8th floor of First Group Centre, run by a coaching-led team and priced at a flat HK$160 an hour around the clock, the cheapest per-court rate in Kowloon Bay. Ball machines, demo paddles from entry level to pro, and a class ladder from trial sessions to seniors' groups. Part of the same building that houses PICKLE.READY and Pickledise, so it is easy to compare on foot.”

Pickledise HK, Kowloon Bay
Pickledise's second venue takes the whole top floor of First Group Centre: four courts side by side under a high ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall and padded walls behind the baselines. It is the widest private venue in Kowloon East, which makes it the natural pick for a group booking or a four-court social. Rates match the Tsuen Wan original, with a HK$250 weekday daytime band and a HK$330 late shoulder until 1am.
