Before you plan a trip here, know what it is: SP Badminton Court is a set of badminton courts in Lat Phrao, not a weights gym. Google files it under athletic_field and sports_activity_location, and every review that says anything concrete is talking about court time, floors, and racket rental. If you came looking for machines and a squat rack, this isn't that.
What the reviews actually describe
The rating sits at 4.5 across 206 votes, and the written feedback splits along one line: locals who play here on weekends like it, and at least one visitor who found it inconvenient. A five-star from July 2024 calls it clean and very well organized with a lot of space, perfect for weekend badminton with friends and family, and notes they even sell protein water. A September 2024 review adds the practical detail I'd want first: great court, reasonable price, with plenty of rackets and badminton shoes for sale and rental. So you can turn up without gear.
The most useful critical note is short. A four-star from August 2024 says plainly, "It's suffocating. You should put exhaust fans," while rating everything else as good. That points at ventilation, not service. Worth asking about if you're sensitive to stuffy indoor air, because a racket sport gets sweaty fast.
The distance complaint, and who it's really for
A two-star from January 2025 is the one to read closely, because it's honest about its own frame. The reviewer calls the courts basic and lacking amenities, with no food court and only limited snacks, then lands the real objection: it's about 30 minutes from central Bangkok, in what they describe as a village-like area with congested roads and no nearby metro. Their verdict was "Not recommended for tourists due to distance from central Bangkok and lack of facilities."
Here's the thing. That's a fair warning for a tourist and almost irrelevant for a local. A neighborhood court that fills up on weekends doesn't need a food court or a train station. My read: the low score measures a mismatch between what a visitor wanted and what a community court is, not a failure of the court itself.
What's missing
Nobody quotes an hourly court price, so budget on a call. The listed hours are unusual and worth planning around: opening is 14:00 every day, with closing at 22:00 on Sunday and midnight the rest of the week. This is an afternoon-and-evening venue, so a morning visitor would find locked doors. There's no website in the record, and no mention of shower quality, parking, or booking method.
Who it's not for
Skip it if you want a full fitness center, if you're staying central and don't want a 30-minute trip, or if you need a morning session. It reads like a solid weekend spot for players who already live in Lat Phrao.
