City Beach is an excellent place for recreational/beginner and intermediate players. Though the court has minor problem ( one of the side of each of the court back line is too close to the wall ), the facilities is fun and comfy.

The facilities also offer other services such as indoor mountain climbing, pools, and ping-pong, hyper-bowl, and volleyball with a nice cozy restaurant in the middle for dining and bar for drinking.

thanks for the post, any idea when the fee charged is $5? I've visited a few times, and it seems each time, the front desk has said $7.

Also, would you happen to know what type of discounts Badminton Alley is offering for membership at Citybeach?

Hi All,
It's sad to inform you that CityBeach has cancelled its club program at this time. The previous program director whom NCAAB dealt with got fired and, thus, all other that was led by this program director have been cancelled or put on hold.

I apologize for this sudden changes. Thus, just want to inform you that there is no Badminton Club activities at this time until further notice.

Sorry,
David

Hmm that's disappointing, hope those few who signed up will still get a discount during open hours, or at least a refund

I think the main problem is lack of players, especially intermediates, since most of the crowd is composed of families and the like
