Badminton Drop-in in Toronto
Toronto has a deep badminton scene and the City rec centres are central to it. Most centres with a gym run drop-in badminton at least a few times a week, with rackets and birdies usually available to borrow. The downtown Y-style centres tend to run more beginner sessions, while North York and Scarborough have stronger competitive crowds.
