About Badminton Canterbury

Badminton Canterbury runs an eight-court badminton hall at 220 Pages Road in Wainoni, and the hall is open to players around the clock. Access is by pin pad, through a Pay2Play account, so players can book courts at any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The lights come on automatically when a court is booked. Casual bookings are welcome, and there is easy parking on site. The hall has some racquets and shuttles to borrow, but the website suggests bringing your own. The office is open part time, on Tuesday from 10am to 3pm, Thursday from 12 to 5pm, and Friday from 10am to 3pm, and it can be reached by voicemail when staff are away. The organisation is run by a volunteer board that meets monthly, and its AGM is held each April.

Customers say the courts are well maintained and that online booking is easy. The parking is plentiful, and one club found the hall an excellent space for its winter tournament. One visitor found the hall a little cool at that time of year, so it is worth knowing it is not heated in winter. Staff are described as kind. The hall is a good place for regular badminton, since the courts can be booked whenever a player is free and the club hosts tournaments and competitive grades.
