Hi Golden Bear: I just went to: http://www.scbabadminton.org/ and looked up places to play.
Arcadia High is a good workout.
Pros:
+Free: just bring your equipment
+Nice people, all willing to play. Honest too.
+Plenty of parking
+Decent pick-up games: from beginner to D+ level, maybe some Cs.
+6 courts, not too crowded
Cons:
-Hard to see the shuttle: lighting is horrendous, takes time to adjust, dim and yellow with white walls.
-Boundary lines are confusing and hard to see: just hit anything close and assume it's in. :p
-Ceiling is not high enough
-Surface does not grip well, a bit slippery
Though the cons are significant, it's the same for everyone so it's a level playing field. I'll be going to Arcadia High regularly. :)
