TAGUM CITY — Pickleball continues its rapid rise in Mindanao as City Pickle Grounds officially opens its doors in Tagum City, bringing six brand-new courts to one of the fastest-growing sports communities in the country.
Conveniently located beside Tagum City Hall, the new facility aims to become a central hub for both competitive and recreational pickleball players in the region. The opening marks another major step forward for the sport’s expansion in Davao del Norte, giving residents and visitors a dedicated venue designed specifically for pickleball.
The launch event welcomed players, enthusiasts, and first-time visitors eager to experience the courts and the growing energy surrounding the sport. Adding to the excitement was the presence of Jacobo Ayala, a known Selkirk Advocate, who brought Selkirk paddles for guests to try throughout the event. Attendees were able to test different paddle models firsthand while learning more about the game in a fun and welcoming environment.
City Pickle Grounds was designed to cater to players of all skill levels — from beginners discovering pickleball for the first time to seasoned competitors looking for quality courts and consistent play.
With its accessible location, modern setup, and growing local community, City Pickle Grounds is expected to become one of Tagum City’s premier destinations for sports, recreation, and social activity.
The opening also reflects the continued momentum of pickleball across the Philippines, as more cities invest in dedicated spaces for the fast-growing sport that combines accessibility, competitiveness, and community.
Players and guests can expect regular games, community events, beginner sessions, and future tournaments as City Pickle Grounds begins its first season in Tagum City.
