Outdoor Badminton in Central Park, Manhattan

Welcome to our NYC Outdoor Badminton family, where everyone is welcome, whatever your age, fitness level, level of badminton skills, or planet of origin. We've got nets and extra rackets for you to borrow, and there'll be a picnic blanket filled with food, and another picnic blanket for board games. Play is weather-reliant so keep an eye on our event page for last minute changes. Bring plenty of water for hydration and energy food to keep your motor running. This is all free (find some other way to spend your $) but we do accept voluntary donations that help pay for shuttles, rackets and nets.

Off the top of my head, the words that describe our group are fun-loving, hilarious, accepting, respectful, safe and fartlek (meaning "speed play" in Swedish, and also, it sounds funny).

If you can't find us, you can try giving us a call, though reception is usually spotty. Kenny: 347-986-4247. Thomas 917-696-0112.
