Assessment Criteria

11 Oct 2024

As part of the research for the pickleball feasibility assessment, staff from the City's Park Planning & Development Division(External link) completed a thorough review of community parks to determine if an outdoor complex could realistically be installed in any location.

Using criteria that took into account existing infrastructure, space, noise, and safety constraints, as well as location and connectivity factors, each community park was put into a weighted matrix for consideration.

This preliminary research identified two potential locations suitable for a 12-court outdoor pickleball complex – Spring Canyon Community Park and Fossil Creek Community Park.
