The guides.

Wooden Floor Badminton Courts in Sri Lanka

Every badminton court in Sri Lanka with a sprung or solid wooden floor — the surface tournament halls use, and the one that is easiest on your knees. Rates, hours and contact numbers.

02By city

Where to play.

City guides for everywhere we have verified a court.

Badminton in Colombo

Most of the island’s bookable courts sit inside Colombo and its inner suburbs, and almost all of them fill between 6 and 9 on weeknights.

Badminton in Gampaha

Gampaha has a handful of large multi-court arenas that are noticeably cheaper than anything inside Colombo.

Badminton in Kandy

Kandy punches above its weight: the municipal indoor stadium has five wooden courts at a price Colombo cannot match.

Badminton in Galle

A small scene, but the courts that exist run long hours and rarely need booking more than a day out.

Badminton in Kurunegala

Home of the North Western provincial association and its February all-island open, so local standards are higher than the court count suggests.
