Windsor opens surveys for pickleball and tennis courts

Windsor residents are being asked for their input as the City moves forward with tennis and pickleball courts at three parks.

The City had previously approved the installation of new courts at Goldenwood Park in Ward 1, Wilson Park in Ward 2, and Fontainebleau Park in Ward 8.

The parks department is conducting separate surveys for each park, asking residents which option they would like to see there. The three options include two new tennis courts with an overlay of two pickleball courts, one tennis court with four separate pickleball courts, and eight new pickleball courts.

The surveys are open until November 25. The City plans to start construction on the facilities during the winter with a targeted opening date in summer 2023.

Links to each of the surveys can be found on the City of Windsor's official website.
