Cowan Park Tennis to Pickleball Court Conversion

The City is considering converting two tennis courts in Cowan Park (Cowan Heights) to pickleball courts. Once converted they would include six courts with markings and netting appropriate for pickleball play. They would no longer be used as tennis courts. There are other tennis courts available in Cowan Heights and nearby in Bowring Park. Review the information on this page and provide your thoughts on this proposed change. Staff will consider your feedback when making their recommendation to Council on whether to proceed with this project.

What We Heard Report is available. Engagement occurred to determine whether there was support to convert the existing two tennis courts in Cowan Park to six pickleball courts, and determine any concerns or issues with a conversion. Nearly 300 people provided feedback through this project page, or by email or phone.
Engagement indicated an overwhelming support and need for pickleball courts in the City with most of the feedback supporting the conversion. Those living closer to the court location were less supportive for a variety of reasons including noise from the balls used, lack of parking in the area and loss of the tennis courts.
