SASKATOON PICKLEBALL INC. COMPLETES 8-COURT INDOOR PICKLEBALL PROJECT!
Saskatoon Pickleball Inc. (SPI) is proud to announce the successful completion of the Jack Adilman Grant (JAG) pickleball court project at the Saskatoon Kinsmen/Henk Ruys Soccer Centre!
SPI’s unique pickleball court project spanned less than 5 months! It entailed a new partnership with Saskatoon Soccer Centre Inc. and a significant grant from the Jack Adilman Fund, resulting in a major flooring upgrade to one of four soccer pitches at the centre. Thanks to our contractor, Centaur Products Inc., this 14,400 sq. ft. multi-use pitch now features 8 pickleball courts on a sprung-floor foundation, topped with new rubber underlay and seamless poured Pulastic flooring. Pickleball players will enjoy the surface’s comfort and appreciate the ease on their joints!
Facility amenities are numerous! They include premium LED lighting, change rooms, upper level spectator viewing areas, a mezzanine overlooking the courts, a licensed snack bar/lounge, and ample free parking.
This was a major multi-faceted effort, initiated and brought to completion by SPI’s JAG Committee, headed up by Project Manager Ray Basler, who was assisted by Site Supervisor Dex Wyse, the SPI JAG Team (Marilyn Barrington, Betty Beaton, Nina Henry) and SPI Volunteers. Their collective range of skill-sets, work ethic and commitment came together to make this new pickleball play venue a reality for the club’s increasing membership.
Special thanks to our new partner, Saskatoon Soccer Centre Inc. for their involvement in the planning process, and to the Jack Adilman Grant Committee for believing in our vision. SPI looks forward to seeing everyone out on the new courts as soon as Saskatchewan Public Health Guidelines allow us to play.
