Outside school hours, the complex will also be open to the public, extending its benefits to the wider community in Kandy and promoting the growth of badminton in the region.
The courts were officially declared open by Dr. Harsha Alles, the Chairman of the Gateway Group, and Ramantha Alles, the Director, who ceremonially inaugurated the complex by playing a friendly game together. The event was attended by Asoka Herath, Director, the Principal of Springfield College Kandy, Heads of Gateway Colleges, along with teachers and students from both Springfield College and Gateway College in Kandy.
The opening of this badminton complex reflects Springfield and Gateway’s continued commitment to holistic education—where academic excellence is complemented by world-class sporting opportunities that nurture discipline, teamwork, and personal growth.
