WEYBURN - The City of Weyburn announced a new partnership with Pickleball Weyburn, to add four pickleball courts at the outdoor rink behind the Credit Union Spark Centre.
This collaboration, achieved at no cost to the city, will provide a permanent space for pickleball enthusiasts to enjoy the sport and help foster its growth in the community.
“We are thrilled to support Pickleball Weyburn in establishing these courts. This partnership not only provides a fantastic recreational opportunity for our residents, but also demonstrates the power of community collaboration,” said Andrew Crowe, Leisure Director for the City of Weyburn.
“We look forward to seeing the sport of pickleball grow in Weyburn.”
Pickleball Weyburn raised the necessary funds to create four pickleball courts using high-quality sport court paint and seasonal affixed nets.
This initiative ensures Weyburn residents have access to well-maintained courts throughout the summer months.
“We are incredibly proud to have created a permanent home for pickleball in Weyburn. This project is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm of our members and the support of our community. We hope this encourages more people to take up the sport recreationally or competitively in Weyburn,” said Bob Maurer of Pickleball Weyburn.
To celebrate the opening of the new courts, a grand opening event will be held today, July 31, at 6 p.m. The event will include a community barbecue, with all proceeds going back to Pickleball Weyburn, and an opportunity for community members to try out the new pickleball court.
Paddles and balls will be available, just bring your running shoes. To book pickleball courts, visit the website at weyburn.ca.
