Oh how it feels so good to be a kid again...
As adults, we always neglect and are often
side tracked from the simple things in life.
So its always nice to go back to that time when
being free spirited was all we cared about. And
ultimately, this will keep us grounded as grown
ups....hahaha
Remember when trying to just swing from
one end of the monkey bars to the other side
was so much funn?!
Go visit! -

Balboa park activity center is the place to go for your badminton and ping pong fix. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons brings about the veteran players who provide ample competition.
a years membership is under 100 dollars where as other gyms in orange county and LA are that price for 2 to 3 months. If you are cheap, you could opt out of the membership and play for free on the non member side, but you'll only get a court if you have 4 players to reserve.
this place would get a 5 if only it didn't get so crowded. Not only that but people sign up on multiple courts and it takes away the chance for others but the staff hasn't dealt with the issue. -

They do a great job here with maintenance, and friendly staff. A nice free facility that offers indoor badminton, table tennis/ping pong, indoor volleyball, and host various events throughout the year.
I stop here on the way home, to play some badminton with my daughters during the week. Usually no wait, and nice facility.
Look up on their website under "scedule updates" on the right side of screen to make sure they are open that day for badminton (sometimes they hold special events): http://www.sandiego.go...
They also have private instruction by pro's with badminton and table tennis.

There is so much to do at Balboa Park. The activity center is a cool palace to check out before you venture through the whole park. Take your time and check out all the different things this place has to offer.

Boy does this place bring back memories. I used to frequent this gym during high school (so often that i called it my second home) and though now i rarely have the time to play here anymore, it will always hold a special place in my heart. During spring and summer, there is an influx of Asian peeps there to play badminton and the wait for a court can get pretty long, upwards of an hour. Along with open badminton play, there is open volleyball play and events during holidays like Easter (egg hunt).
Outside of the gym, there is a nice courtyard with a fountain, where I've seen many wedding couples or prom groups taking pictures. It's a relaxing place to sit under the shade and enjoy lunch or take a stroll.
I love the balboa park activity center and I hope that the city's budget cuts won't affect the programs and activities that the center has to offer to locals. -

I use to play badminton here and later found out they have ping pong tournaments here every week. i joined their weekly ping pong tournaments for a year, it was fun. they also have open gym volleyball, the players are decent too. this gym is nice and clean, they have a very friendly staff.

pros... went here a while back, and was wonderfully surprised at all the people who are playing either table tennis, badminton and as i remember a while back, volleyball as well.
now that i'm all back into playing some badminton, and going to digi sport the other day, i really want to make it back to this place again. i think i will also try to get into some table tennis as well. it has been a while since i played it, we called it ping pong way back when.
cons...wish there were more places like this for badminton and table tennis.
