The Nov. 7 outdoor meetup runs noon to 6 p.m. at The Volley Ball Courts - Central Park Bandshell. Organizers say they will decide by 10 a.m. whether weather requires a postponement or cancellation.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
You do not have to arrive right at noon to join this gathering. NYC Outdoor Badminton lists one shared badminton-and-pickleball meetup, rather than separate timed sessions, and says beginners and newcomers are part of the group.
Organizers say they provide nets, rackets and birdies or shuttlecocks, as well as picnic blankets for sitting. Bringing your own equipment is also fine.
The group recommends bringing water, snacks or other energy food, and sunscreen. Those are the useful additions to pack even if you are borrowing the sports gear.
