Where to play near the Old Quarter, West Lake and across the river, and what we actually know about each court.
Hanoi is spread out and traffic is slow, so pick the court by your hotel. Here is how we would think about it.
It is the closest court we know, on the north edge of the Old Quarter, and the one Kevin plays. HTL is the other Hoan Kiem address on the list.
BALLBURN (614), Pink (584) and Arena Tay Ho (691) are all on the same road, so you can see which one feels right. AIKO is a lane away off Xuan Dieu.
BALLBURN, ChubbyBall, Happyland and the Federation court stay open until 11pm or midnight. Filter by "Open late" below.

Of the courts we list, Taurus Pickleball is the closest we know: it sits on the north edge of the Old Quarter, near Dong Xuan Market, about a 15-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake. HTL Pickleball Center is also in Hoan Kiem district.
West Lake (Tay Ho). Four of the nine courts on this page are there, three of them on the same road, Lac Long Quan. If you would rather stay in the Old Quarter, Taurus is your closest option and the others are a taxi ride away.
Often yes, and evenings are the busiest. Some clubs take bookings through the Alobo app, others by Zalo or phone, usually in Vietnamese. If you would rather not sort that out yourself, we can arrange a session for you.
Ratings, opening times and phone numbers come from Google Maps and each club's Facebook page, last checked 2 November 2026. We update a card when a club sends us its own photos and details, and Kevin has played at Taurus himself.
Tell us your dates and where you are staying. We will find you a court and local players, or build the games into a trip across Vietnam.
