Linnanmaa Sports Centre field bookings

As a UniMove member, you can reserve a court in the sports hall to play badminton, table tennis or pickleball during periods free from teaching on weekdays between 8am and 4pm. Booking is free of charge.

General information about booking

Bookings are made through the calendar on this page. The following week's free times will be available for booking on Fridays. The duration of the reservation can be 30, 60 or 90 minutes. You can only make one booking for the same day.

If you wish to play table tennis during your court booking, please press the ‘Pingispöytä’ button when making your booking. This will ensure the table is available.

All persons arriving for a shift must show their UniMove membership (the first page of app) at the lobby service desk. If your playing buddy does not have a UniMove membership, he/she will pay the City of Oulu's normal price for a visit.

Equipment

UniMove’s rackets and balls can be found in the locker 10 in the changing room corridor. The key to the locker can be found in the key box at the door, which you can open by entering code 5926. Always keep the key in the box, do not take it with you. Always lock the box by setting the code to 0000.

You can borrow the following equipment from the locker:

  • badminton rackets and shuttlecocks (shuttlecocks wear out quickly, so we recommend bringing your own)
  • pickleball rackets and balls
  • table tennis bats (balls are not available to borrow; please bring your own)

You can also hire equipment from the service desk in the sports centre lobby.

Badminton posts and nets can be found in the equipment storerooms next to sections 1 and 3, and in the large storeroom in the changing room corridor. Table tennis tables can be found in the large storeroom, and the nets can be collected from the lobby's service desk (remember to return the nets). Pickleball nets (3 in total) and assembly instructions can be found on a shelf in the equipment storeroom in the section 1.

Please note that you should wear shoes that are suitable for indoor sports and do not leave marks on the floor.

Fields

The sports hall is divided into three sections. Each section can accommodate three badminton courts. The courts are numbered 1-9 on the booking calendar.
