BRAMPTON, ON (June 27, 2019) – Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in Canada, and it now has a home in Brampton! The City of Brampton has officially opened seven outdoor pickleball courts in two locations for public use.
1. Flower City Community Campus | 8950 McLaughlin Road
From Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, City staff will set up four pickleball courts in the lacrosse box. After hours, players can bring their own portable nets and play on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Centennial Park | 53 Centre Street South
There are three courts available during the tennis season (May to October), which operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Players are asked to rotate off of the courts every half hour during busy times to ensure everyone has a chance to play.
The City of Brampton also offers indoor drop-in pickleball at various recreation centres throughout the year. Drop-in times and locations are available online through the drop-in filter.
