The UW Badminton Club
Information for Badminton Players


Club Play
Club members play on courts they reserve at the UW Natatorium (the Nat), usually during these times. Badminton courts at the Nat can be reserved by calling 262-3742. For entrance to the building, you will need to show your student or faculty/staff ID. In addition, you will need to pay an access fee to the Recreational Sports Department. The Natatorium's building hours and gym schedule can be found here.

Metered parking is available seven days a week behind and across from the facility. Free parking is available in Lot 62, the Vet School lot across the street, after 4:30 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. weekdays and all day on weekends (except football Saturdays and other special events). Lot 62 requires a permit between 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Parking for bicycles and scooters is available just outside the front door.

The Nat is closed on the following holidays: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve Day, New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July.
