The Dugout Arena is a multi-sport facility at Sector 66A, Mohali, and Zirakpur, offering a box cricket turf, pickleball courts, paddleball (padel) courts, and a futsal arena across 10+ professional-grade surfaces. It’s open 24/7, serves players across Mohali, Chandigarh, Zirakpur and Panchkula, and all bookings run through the Hudle app.
If you’ve searched “box cricket turf near me,” “pickleball courts in Mohali,” or “futsal arena in Tricity” and landed here — that’s exactly what this guide covers, sector by sector, sport by sport.
Why Tricity Needed a Proper Multi-Sport Arena
Mohali has always had cricket in its blood — the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium put this city on the sporting map decades ago. But for the average player, finding a well-maintained, floodlit, bookable-in-minutes turf between Mohali, Chandigarh and Panchkula has historically meant compromise: patchy nets, inconsistent bounce, or a single-sport ground that shuts by 9 pm.
That’s the gap The Dugout Arena was built to close. Since opening our first two courts in Zirakpur in 2024, we’ve expanded to 10+ professional surfaces across both locations, adding pickleball and paddleball as the region’s appetite for racket sports took off.
What Sports Can You Play at The Dugout Arena?
| Sport | Monthly Sessions | What Makes It Local-Favourite |
|---|---|---|
| Box Cricket | 800+ matches | True-bounce turf, boundary netting, floodlit night slots |
| Pickleball | 500+ sessions | Includes Tricity’s only Glow Pickleball night format |
| Futsal | 300+ sessions | Fast enclosed turf, rebound boards, 5-a-side format |
| Paddleball (Padel) | 150+ sessions | Glass-walled courts, newest addition, beginner-friendly |
Is There a Proper Box Cricket Turf in Mohali?
Yes — our box cricket turf in Sector 66A is purpose-built for the way box cricket is actually played here: fast bowling, quick singles, and a boundary that keeps the ball (and the arguments about whether it was a six) in play. It hosts 800+ matches a month, from office leagues to weekend tournament squads, with floodlighting that makes an 11 pm net session feel identical to a 5 pm one.
Where Can I Play Pickleball in Mohali and Zirakpur?
Pickleball has exploded across Tricity’s WhatsApp groups over the last two years, and The Dugout runs 500+ pickleball sessions monthly across both locations. We’re also currently the only arena in the region offering Glow Pickleball — UV paddles, glowing balls, courts built for a Tuesday-night crowd that wants more than a rally.
Beginners are genuinely welcome. Pickleball at The Dugout is as much a low-impact fitness and social reset as it is a sport — no prior experience needed to book a slot.
Where’s the Best Futsal Arena Near Mohali and Chandigarh?
Our futsal arena runs 300+ sessions a month for the 5-a-side crowd who grew up on gully football and never found a proper adult setup. The enclosed turf and rebound boards keep the ball moving, and matches under the floodlights genuinely feel competitive — not a casual kickabout.
Is There a Paddleball (Padel) Court in Tricity?
Paddleball, or padel, is the newest sport at The Dugout and already runs 150+ sessions monthly. The glass-walled, enclosed-court format is forgiving for first-timers — mistakes bounce back into play — while still rewarding serious rallies for players who’ve picked up the sport abroad and wondered when Mohali would catch up.
Why 24/7 Access Matters in Tricity
Mohali, Chandigarh and Panchkula don’t run on office hours, and neither do we. The Dugout Arena is open all seven days, round the clock, so an early-morning box cricket net or a midnight pickleball rematch never has to wait for a “free” slot on someone else’s schedule.
