Outdoor Courts plan
Outdoor Pickleball Courts
The Fundraising Campaign is on hold as change is in the air:
The City is currently undertaking the redevelopment of the Currie Reservoir recreational spaces, also known as Richmond Green, which is proposed to include a minimum of 12 dedicated pickleball courts. The existing multi-purpose tennis/pickleball courts will have eight courts lined for pickleball, making the total number of pickleball courts 20 in this location, enough for the Calgary Pickleball Club to host a local or regional event.
At this time, we feel the city does not require two, 20-court parks, and as such have made the decision to put the current campaign for the Quarry Park project on hold. The Calgary Pickleball Club and the City will work together to adjust current plans and determine the next steps. Both The Calgary Pickleball Club and the City of Calgary are committed to seeing public courts in all quadrants and will continue to pursue opportunities as they arise. In addition to the Richmond Green courts (opening still TBA), dedicated courts at Sandy Beach Park have recently opened and the City announced in July a project for 12, dedicated, temporary pickleball courts at Foothills Athletic Park (opening this fall).
The city is updating their pickleball strategy and are actively seeking ways to move to improve the player experience by investigating opportunities to create more functional multi-purpose court spaces, in addition to increasing the number of dedicated pickleball court locations.

A Sport For All
Pickleball is a sport uniquely tailored for all ages, fostering inclusivity and enjoyment across generations. Its versatility lies in a
combination of factors such as a smaller court size, slower-paced gameplay, and lightweight paddles, making it accessible for individuals of varying fitness levels and physical abilities. The game’s simplicity allows beginners to quickly grasp the basics, while its strategic depth ensures continued engagement for seasoned players.
Pickleball promotes social interaction, providing a platform where grandparents, parents, and children can al participate together,
creating a shared sporting experience that transcends age
barriers. The sport’s emphasis on fun, camaraderie, and adaptability makes it an ideal choice for a diverse range of players, reinforcing its reputation as a truly intergenerational activity.
