Badminton in Las Vegas, NV and Henderson, NV

Hi badminton fans. 

Unfortunately, due to water pipe rapture at Student Recreation and Wellness Center at UNLV, badminton is closed there. We spoke to the personele at that facility and we have been told  that it will take at least 3-4 weeks before Badninton reopens. Pity!

Great news! In case you have missed it, the facility keeps badminton nets always set for the Summer season.

Here is the breakdown:

Age	Days	Hours	Price
18+	Mon-Fri	6:00am-9:00pm	$40/month Community $30/month UNLV Staff $25/month Students $10/one time
18+	Saturday	8:00am-9:00pm	$40/month Community $30/month UNLV Staff $25/month Students $10/one time
18+	Sunday	10:00am-10:00pm	$40/month Community $30/month UNLV Staff $25/month Students $10/one time

We've reached out via email to Silver Springs Recreation Center officials asking for an update but so far no response yet. We are sorry to disappoint. We are not giving up yet.

It's a long wait for all of us. Happy New Year everybody. We've got a note from Kee (Sky) that the work on the 3rd floor was actually delayed due to a shooting. Stay strong.

Happy holidays, badminton fans! May the new year bring you much joy and success on the court!

Here is an update we got this morning from Silver Springs Recreation Center officials:

"We are waiting on one more quote for equipment but the ball is rolling. We hope to have dates/times for Badminton for you before the year ends."

Exciting.

Hello badminton fans. Looks like we are another step closer to be able to play badminton in Henderson, NV! Today, I met with the recreation services supervisor at Silver Springs Recreation Center to discuss further details. They are still open to offer badminton plays soon. Proposed starting hours were Mondays 10am-noon and Fridays 8am-10am with rather slim changes of anything occurring after 5pm on weekdays. The proposed fee would be $2 per participant. It could be a good start. The more of us, the better the chances of negotiating better hours. We've come to a consensus of what sort of net is needed. They want to purchase a badminton set whose poles fit in the same "sockets" of existing volleyballs setup. Lines will be added of course. If anybody knows a vendor or a place to which we could point out recreation center officials to purchase such badminton setup, let us know. Below is the picture from UNLV that depicts it. When could we start? In December'23 if everything goes well. Thank you!

Today we have sent another inquiry to all the good people who we have met along the way that were willing to help us make the badminton happen in Henderson. Still no response. We'll update as soon as we hear anything back. Thank you all for your patience and encouragement.

We have been asked an interesting question recently: Is it possible to book an individual court in Las Vegas, NV valley? Old Las Vegas club, after the pandemic, used to be operating solely on court reservation basis. It's not so simple anymore. It's possible to book all 3 courts in Desert Breeze location but as far as we know, it's not really possible at UNLV. If anybody knows more, please share.

We know it's hard to string a racket in the valley. What's your best source? Would you care to share? 

We have received an email from Recreation Services Coordinator asking details about what sort of accommodations we would require to allow for badminton play in Silver Springs Recreation Center. We have sent rather detailed response as to what court, net requirements are and what are the most preferred dates and hours based on survey results. We hope this means Silver Springs Center can offer us badminton courts starting August 2023.

We have just received an update from City of Henderson representative:

"At the current time, the City is determining if the field house will be managed by the Parks and Rec Department, contracted out to a private company to manage, or shared management between Parks and Rec and a private company. We want to find space for badminton! Summer is hard with our summer camps taking up almost all of the facility gym time, but we are hopeful to get you time at Silver Springs once the kids go back to school."

Thank you City of Henderson for having us, badminton enthusiasts, on your mind. There is hope.

As for the price increase - it's rather significant. Don't you think?

Hello badminton fans. We have received some tentative time frame in which badminton facility has a really good chance to open in Henderson, NV. It's few months away, August 2023. In a meantime - please take look at all the known places we list on our site where you can still play badminton in the valley. Thank you for your patience. Cross your fingers please.

Hello badminton fans. Thank you again for all your voicing and support. None of them are left unnoticed. We have passed the summary of them to the City of Henderson Parks and Recreation representatives. We had a pleasure to meet with the person managing one of the Recreation Centers. The chances of having an official facility to play badminton in Henderson, NV have increased. We'll share the details once this becomes a reality. Cross your fingers please 🤞

Thank you all for continued voicing in helping us to establish badminton play in city of Henderson. Hopefully this will happen soon. We will be letting you know about the progress. In a meantime - please consider any of the facilities in Las Vegas listed on our site. Happy playing!

 

 

Hello

We have confirmed that Mirabelli Community Center has stopped offering badminton plays and they feature basketball court instead. Pity!
