TS-33d Pickle Ball Court in St Lawrence Neighbourhood

This idea proposes to install a Pickle Ball Court (44ftx20ft) in a future park within St Lawrence Neighbourhood.

Parks Forestry and Recreation staff has reviewed this proposal and gave permission for the installation of a future Pickle Ball Court in St Lawrence Neighbourhood should this idea be successfully funded. I will allocate $350,000 towards future developments of a pickleball court in St Lawrence Neighbourhood.

•   more and better designed garbage receptacles to address chronic overflow

- consider decorating as public art?

Approach:

Note: This is one idea which can be scoped in a range of cost brackets, with associated investments ranging from large to very significant. It is hoped that there will be ongoing dialogue with the Councillor’s office to qualify and shape this idea further as design and cost input is received from staff experts at the City, and prior to it being submitted for voting.
