Eastbay Badminton Association

Their handling of Covid has been terrible. Before we would pay for entrance and can play for as long as we want. Now we have to book courts by the hour. This makes sense, but we went and there was no one else in the gym. We were unable to use the other courts. Not only are you already making more money of us by making us book courts by the hour, they refused to let us use the other courts even when no one was there.

My favorite place for badminton! They sell and rent badminton equipment as an official Yonex dealer, and there is a racket stringer with 30 years of experience. The gym has 8 wonderful courts and a very tall roof. The community is very open, so it would be okay to come by yourself and play with strangers.

I have been coming here for like since high school so like 6 years now. it was real busy back then and i think some members left or not come often as before but definitely around 2011 was busiest year. It is still busy now though. So the schedule goes like this. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Most people play during 10 am till like around 12 or 1 pm. Then it is pretty much all empty until around 5 pm people start coming in like maybe 3~5 people. I would say around 6:30 pm is ideal time to come in cause half court are filled and court are filled mostly at 7:30 pm and half emptied around 10 pm and closed at 11 pm. Friday basically full whole day. Saturday is busy during the day and around 9 pm half of the courts are emptied. Sunday is the same as Saturday except no one will be there like at 6 pm most people will leave at like 5 pm (cause sunday close at 9 pm). There are two different groups that play Monday and Wednesday. (group 1) Tuesday and Thursday (group 2). Each of the groups are around 8~10 people. the people in this group come regularly so if you want to come and join them. Go ahead! (They are like C level players). Rule is no black sole shoe. You can pay for the member service fee or drop-in fee for 1 day and you can stay there the whole day if you wanted. You can rent shoe, shirt, racket, buy badminton equipment. People here are friendly but you gotta ASK if you want to play with them. (i suggest take badminton lessons with coach so might save you time looking for people to play with cause people here are above average player.) The gym have total of 8 courts with queue time system which let people play on the court for 20 minutes on a busy day. They have water, bathroom, and a place to take a shower right next to it! Plenty to parking spaces here. So to sum up everything here: Go at 2~5 pm Mon-Thurs pretty much empty so if you wanna have the court all to yourself then go with friends and play. If not, then come and play with the competitive players and learn their technique!!

I like this place a lot. I go to this place on every Tuesday because my company sponsors it :). There are 8 badminton courts. They are clean and spacious. Most of the people get chance to play within 10-15 mins. They have automated queue system so if you are a registered member then you register yourself in queue and wait for sometime. You can also book court if you like but you have to pay for that. If you are member then you have to pay $20/hr otherwise you have 30$/hr They have one restriction that is your shoe sole should not be black. They prefer white sole shoe. They also provide rental of all equipments including shoe. They don't have dedicated parking space, but street parking is available all the time. I have been going to this place last 2 years and I was able to find street parking every time.
