Court types and season

The city lists 38 outdoor tennis courts and 28 pickleball courts at 12 locations. Surfaces are asphalt with a painted base. The usual season runs from early May to September 30, depending on weather. In October the city is closing courts for the season; a recorded court is not a promise that its gate is open.

Most sites are fenced and locked in the off-season to reduce damage. When weather allows an early opening, raised nets and unlocked gates indicate that public play is available. Posted court rules still apply.

Casual play and booked events

Casual play is first come, first served. Limit play to 30 minutes when other people are waiting. Pickleball players must bring and remove their own nets, except at Father Basil Markle, where the city provides them.

For a special event or tournament, call Allocations at 306-975-3366. Report court-maintenance concerns to 306-975-2476. The Field House at 2020 College Drive offers one indoor tennis court and four indoor pickleball courts as a separate indoor option.
