APBA Pickleball Open Sunland Station launches March 6–8, 500 players, brand market

The APBA Pickleball Open Shanghai League - Sunland Station opened March 6 at Sunland Pickleball Park, 549 Langu Road in Pudong New Area, with competition scheduled to continue through March 8. The tournament was announced in a Pudong district event bulletin published March 5 by the account En-shftz Pudong Gov Cn, naming Linli Park at De'ai Road x Langu Road as a secondary venue.

The official bulletin text states, “APBA Pickleball Open Shanghai League — Sunland Station will launch March 6–8 at Sunland Pickleball Park (549 Langu Road) with a secondary venue at Linli Park (De'ai Road x Langu Road).” A truncated repost from the same Pudong account reads exactly: “The tournament will be held at Sunland Pickleball Park (549 Langu Road) in the Pudong New Area, with a secondary venue at Linli Park (” which confirms the two-site layout but leaves the repost incomplete.

A user-provided summary for the event adds that roughly 500 players are expected to participate and that a brand market and a cultural passport activation will run alongside play. Those three details - approximately 500 players, the brand market, and the cultural passport - do not appear in the Pudong district bulletin text supplied and are treated here as supplementary claims pending organizer confirmation.

Match activity is concentrated at Sunland Pickleball Park, using the full street address 549 Langu Road for player arrival, courts, and on-site operations, while Linli Park is listed by intersection only - De'ai Road x Langu Road - suggesting overflow courts or secondary scheduling across the two locations. The inclusion of "Sunland Station" in the event name indicates this stop is part of a broader APBA Shanghai League circuit, according to the wording in the bulletin.

Key logistical and reporting gaps remain. The bulletin does not specify the year for the March 6–8 dates, the tournament format or draw sizes, confirmed participant lists, daily match schedules, or whether the reported ~500 players figure includes coaches and officials. Organizers and partners beyond the APBA label are not named in the bulletin, and there are no published details on ticketing, spectator access, prize structure, or media coverage in the supplied text.

Matches will continue at the two venues through March 8 as listed in the Pudong publication; reporters will seek the full Pudong bulletin text, registration lists, and official confirmation of the brand market and cultural passport activations to complete coverage of participant rosters and the event program.
