Shuttle Point

A single court off Vishnu Kovil Road in Dehiwala, laid with a wood-finish floor in a clean white steel-clad shed, open from six in the morning until midnight. The hall is newer and better lit than the rate suggests, and at LKR 1,000 an hour it is priced in line with Colombo's private courts. Booking is half-online: the site has a live calendar for picking a date and slot, but confirmation still runs through WhatsApp and payment is by bank transfer with the receipt sent back. Rackets rent for LKR 200 an hour, though only two per booking, so a group of four arriving empty-handed cannot kit everyone out. The obvious limitation is the count — one court means a single cancelled slot is the difference between playing and not, and evenings go early.
