Imagine a place where you can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee, savor delicious short eats, grab & gos and then step right onto a pickleball court for some fun and exercise. That place is Freshlings COURTSIDE, a new format experience opening soon that combines a cafe atmosphere with a full pickleball court in the industrial hub at Taramani. This innovative concept is set to launch in August, promising a fresh way to socialise, relax, and stay active all in one spot.

What Makes COURTSIDE Different

Freshlings COURTSIDE is not just another cafe or sports venue. It blends the best of both worlds to create a unique experience. Here’s what sets it apart:

Cafe Comfort: Enjoy a cozy, welcoming environment with quality coffee, teas, and light meals. Whether you want to work, chat with friends, or unwind, the cafe area is designed for comfort and style.
Pickleball Court Access: Right next to the cafe, a professional-grade pickleball court invites players of all levels. Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, known for being easy to learn and highly social.
Community Hub: Courtside aims to be a gathering place where people can meet, play, and connect. It’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking to try something new.

This combination creates a space that encourages both relaxation and activity, making it ideal for a wide range of visitors.

Why Pickleball?

Pickleball has surged in popularity because it offers a fun, low-impact workout that suits all ages. It combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, played on a smaller court with a paddle and a plastic ball. Here’s why pickleball fits perfectly with the Courtside concept:

Easy to Learn: Beginners can pick up the rules quickly and start playing within minutes.
Social Sport: It’s often played in doubles, encouraging teamwork and conversation.
Health Benefits: Playing pickleball improves cardiovascular health, agility, and coordination.
Inclusive: The sport welcomes players of all ages and skill levels, making it family-friendly.

By offering a pickleball court alongside a cafe, Courtside taps into this growing trend and provides a place where people can enjoy both sport and leisure.
