Anyone knows of other central locations where I can book a badminton court fairly easy? Besides PA.

Your question brings back memories of sitting at my computer at 11:59pm and at the stroke of midnight quickly booking the badminton court exactly two weeks in advance. That was the only way to get a slot at just about any CC near me. Within a few minutes after midnight, everything was snapped up. Not sure if they have improved this system or if the demand has changed. I remember speaking to a badminton coach about how crazy it was and he told me he would have several devices set up before the stroke of midnight to snap up as many as possible. Good luck.

Malcontent: precisely...still having the same problem now, everything's book up for many many weeks and I just can't seem to get a slot with the CC.

One thing there is no shortage of here, is shortages of things — be it places in schools, quotas on vehicles, BTO units… this is just part and parcel of living on a small island with millions of others, scarcity is inevitable.

Maybe you can try joining some badminton playing groups on the app called Rovo. I know it's popular for booking tennis (for example: someone has a tennis court available in his
condo. He creates a public event and invites people to join. Usually there is a small fee, like 2$.)). Not sure whether it would work for badminton because there are fewer
condos with badminton courts.
