    Take a look at this list. #7 is likely the closest. It's at Gangnam Elementary School. #11 is next. It's at Sanghyun Middle School, which is east of Soonshil Women's Univ. Stn. Both play in the evenings.

    If you don't like the facilities at either of these schools, you can simply hop on the #9 line and go to the Magok Gym, which is mentioned in the Seoul thread, among others. Please let me know what you find.

    Well, the one thing you can read on those pages is the times, for which #7 says 8-10PM. I don't know about the days there but #11 says 7:30-10 on weekdays and 5-7:30PM on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Perhaps the moderators could merge this thread with the one already open on this area of Seoul. Boataro, I don't know if you'll find xiwen from that thread still in the area but you never know.

    You may have read this from the link you included above but the Badmintontimes listing says the Dalma Club is on outdoor courts, in front of Dalma Temple, but a road-view photo from Daum Maps shows that there is a kind of tent over the courts. I don't know whether the courts have a dirt or a concrete floor. I've seen both. If you are looking for a public facility nearby, another place to try might be the Guksabong Gym, about 2.5km away.
