Badminton Stadium at 99 Gillies Avenue and also the 80th
Anniversary of the Association. Auckland Badminton (also
known as the ABA) has a proud history with volunteers, coaches,
parents and managers committed to this great sport that continues
today. Added to that are players ranging from beginners to those that
