Once a sleepy ol' train depot turned hip event space, Sentul Depot has officially entered its fitness era… and it's looking fineeee
Introducing Pickle Depot & Padel Depot, a racquet sports haven so massive, even your badminton-loving uncle might do a double take.
There are 12 pickleball courts and four padel courts
If you're unfamiliar with the terms, pickleball is a paddle sport that's easy to pick up, even for beginners.
Padel, on the other hand, is played in an enclosed court with glass walls and combines elements of tennis and squash.
SAYS popped by for the launch today, 25 July, and got a lil' taste of what it's like to actually play in the arena. And let's just say, it did not disappoint.
The whole place had relax, open-air vibes, surrounded by trees and natural sunlight like a low-key jungle gym dream.
It felt spacious enough to run around without body-slamming someone, but also comfy enough to just lepak with friends. 10/10 would roam again.
Courts are open daily for bookings, and you don't need to be a pro to join. Everything's designed to feel chill, welcoming, and actually fun.
Even if you don't plan to play or are just there for moral support, the space is a great spot to chill and catch up with friends
There's a café on the ground floor and a cosy open space upstairs that overlooks the courts.
With natural lighting, couches, and full views of the action below, it's a perfect hangout whether you're watching a match or just sipping on your iced latte.

By evening, the on-site bar kicks in, so if your idea of a good time leans more towards cocktails than rallies, you're covered.
The concept was co-founded by actress and entrepreneur Amelia Henderson
Inspired by her love for movement and people, Amelia co-created the space with the goal of making fitness more social and inclusive.
She also brought in her sustainable athleisure brand, WearRamé, which is available at the venue, along with exclusive merch drops.

You can expect more than just casual court time
The venue is expected to host a series of launches, lifestyle events, and themed tournaments throughout the year.
It's designed to feel more like a social scene than a typical gym environment.
Prices start at RM60 for pickleball courts and RM140 for padel courts
