Background Outdoor courts naturally deteriorate over time due to weather and use. This investment helps extend the life of existing recreation infrastructure and supports active living by improving court quality for both tennis and pickleball users. This resurfacing project maintains the courts to continue being safe, durable and enjoyable for residents. Resurfacing requires sustained warm temperatures and dry weather conditions for the surface materials to cure properly. Construction is scheduled to start on June 15 to align with contractor availability and the weather conditions required. Completing the work during the summer construction season helps produce a high-quality finished surface and maximizes the lifespan of the courts. Public engagement and feedback Before finalizing the resurfacing approach, the City completed a public engagement process focused on court line visibility, clarity and overall usability. 99 residents participated in the survey. Feedback was generally supportive and residents highlighted line clarity and contrast as key considerations. This input informed the final approach.
