    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. :)
