    Hi, I am a new to this website. I like to play badminton too. I have not played for more than 10 years and would like to join your club. Please let me know if you find a place to play.

    Hello Steve,

    I played at the Memorial Presbyterian Church Gymnasium last sunday. They play from 11AM to 4:30PM. The address is 5140 Memorial Drive, Stone Mountain, GA 30083.

    It was a good set of people and you can easily find somebody who would match your game.

    Hi everyone,

    Hi, I also need a place to play. Does this Brookwood Hills place have proper court? Does it accept guest players?

    Are there any other places where I can play? I have friends who are willing to play so I don't need people, I just need a court especially!

    Its so frustrating to look for a court on online forum like this when you can walk out of your house for 10 minutes and instantly find a basketball/tennis court.

    you must be one of the older people i see at the courts...i'm still an undergraduate student so i stick with people my age who are active on the courts...maybe you would recognize people like Ning or Shingo?

    i don't know anyone yet. i went for the first time wednesday of last week and was told it would be easier to join the first day of the next semester. so i'll go back whenever ramsey is opened. i'm 33 by the way, and caucasian so i will probably be easy to recognize as most folks appeared to be of asian origins.

    hello guys,

    I have recently moved to Atlanta and living in mid-town. Are you aware of any place nearby where I can play badminton? Any lead would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Gwinnett County Recreation will be adding another County Park to play badminton, on Wednesday Nights starting in about two weeks. It is Best Friends Park, on Jimmy Carter Blvd, just west of I-85 , In Norcross. The exact time and evenings ( possibly 2) will be listed on a Yahoo newsgroup that was just formed. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Atlantabadminton/

    Thanks for posting this. I'm looking to get back into badminton after a few years. Actually, I think I originally started this thread :D

    Hope to make it to one of these soon!

    By the way, about the Bogan Park sked, don't they have any non-office-hour court time available? I live about 5mins away, but I work in Tucker.
