Sports at Canara Union
The Sports Section at Canara Union is one of our most dynamic and well-loved wings, promoting fitness, teamwork, and healthy competition among members of all ages. One of the earliest sports activities during the first quarter of the last century was the gymnasium.
Prakash Courts
Badminton is one of our major sports facilities. Prakash Courts is a major highlight, attracting tremendous interest and enthusiasm. Demand is so high that waiting lists extend for several years. We are proud that Prakash Padukone, one of India’s greatest badminton legends, began his journey right here at Canara Union, before gaining international fame and national pride.
