Counties Manukau Badminton Association is a not-for-profit body at 41R Elliot Street in Papakura, and it is the regional governing body for badminton across south Auckland, from Otahuhu and Flat Bush to Pukekohe and Waiuku. It is affiliated with Badminton New Zealand, and its programmes support players from beginners to representative level. The venue has six courts for hire and hosts local and national events. Facilities include changing rooms and showers, a lounge and bar, a canteen and off-street parking. A pro-shop offers restringing and a range of badminton gear and apparel. The website says the sport is growing quickly in south Auckland, with more people joining through clubs, schools and community groups.
Reviewers praise the quality of play, and say the six wooden spring-board courts reduce the risk of injury. One says the new Hello booking system is excellent, and needs no access card. Reviewers also mention the friendly staff, the spectator areas and the lighting. Another reviewer is less happy: they found the rates expensive for the atmosphere, said the hall is too hot in summer and needs better ventilation, and said prices have gone up twice in the last year, and the building needs renovating.
