Workers' Party MP announces new pickleball measures at Sengkang in light of residents' diverse lifestyles & preferences

SINGAPORE: In a social media post earlier this week, Workers’ Party Member of Parliament Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik announced new pickleball guidelines in Sengkang following the results of a survey conducted in late 2025 that more than 2000 residents took part in.

The measures take into consideration the varying needs of the residents, he added.

While the racquet sport has grown by leaps and bounds in popularity in many countries across the globe, it has come with its own set of problems, especially the noise coming from the sport itself as well as from players who at times continue their games late into the night.

Mr Muhaimin, Sengkang Town Council’s vice chair, said in his post that SKTC decided to implement the two most acceptable regulatory measures that residents had voted on.

The first is a ban on pickleball games in certain courts that are located too close to residential blocks. The second is to set a limit on the sport’s playing hours from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm.

These new measures will be implemented on Nov 1, 2026.

The following are the courts that allow pickleball

• Anchorvale Vista (near Block 310B)

• Anchorvale Vista (near Block 312A)

• Aspella (near Block 275B)

• Compassvale North Gate (near Block 262C)

• Rivervale Gardens (near Block 120D)

• Rivervale Bank (near Block 121B)

“Balancing the diverse needs of residents can be challenging. Through the pickleball survey and the introduction of new measures, SKTC hopes to support residents who enjoy active lifestyles while also respecting the needs of those who value a quieter environment for rest and recuperation,” the MP added in his post.
